Current Exhibitions
![]() | Wombalicorns and the Re-imagening of Australian Children's Literature by RAB - Rachel Anne Buch29 July - 24 August 2022This interactive exhibition works to recreate the themes and imagery of old children’s books into a new, modern and inclusive series of artworks. It looks at generating new ideas of what a magical Australiana looks like by combining elements of what is Australian, fantastical and ordinary together to create a series of characters, settings and objects that are relevant to what a modern fairytale in Australia would look like. |
Gertrude Veggie-Smuggl’r Extraordinaire! Marie Widolf29 July - 24 August 2022In 2018, Marie Widolf opened her first solo exhibition at Waverley Library Galleries, and introduced us to the whimsical world of her cartoon-character Gertrude – The Gal That Couldn’t Cook. The 34 artworks explored Gertrude’s unconventional relationship with her kitchen: her character was prone to daydreaming, and her cooking-ingredients escaped from her mixing-bowl! |
