In doing so, Pye carries the legacy of the pioneering Modernist painters of the Australian bush, those who gave painterly form to our country, such as Fred Williams, Arthur Boyd and Sidney Nolan.’Dr. Lee-Anne Hall, Director Wagga Wagga Regional GalleryAbout RebeccaIn her award-winning studio, interior designer Rebecca Jansma transforms rooms into captivating canvases that convey elegance and harmony. Rebecca has a long, vital and curious connection with art and often uses it as an anchor in her interiors. https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events9/banners/b1d9f710-fcb4-11f0-875c-5f5594b18118-rimg-w732-h740-dc605f5e-gmir.jpg https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events9/banners/b1fd3680-fcb4-11f0-875c-5f5594b18118-rimg-w493-h740-dcf3f1ec-gmir.jpg https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events9/banners/b21f6480-fcb4-11f0-b494-b398a7ecfd23-rimg-w493-h740-dcc6c3bd-gmir.jpg - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/geelong/an-evening-with-andy-pye-the-artifacts-of-summer-2026ad/100001981831080110 - **Event Categories**: Art, Meetups, Nonprofit, Workshops - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 0, max: 0, currency: AUD ## Event venue details - **city**: Geelong - **state**: VI - **country**: Australia - **location**: Rebecca Jansma Interior Design - **lat**: -38.1482246 - **long**: 144.3577553 - **full address**: Rebecca Jansma Interior Design, 43 Gheringhap Street, Geelong, Australia ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: An Evening with Andy Pye - The Artifacts of Summer 2026AD - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events8/banners/bc7ab1a1c86e5f9b3dfd20087b4905a54e3e26ca55721f174dd354c005c48e2f-rimg-w1200-h675-dcffffff-gmir.jpg?v=1769651354 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is An Evening with Andy Pye - The Artifacts of Summer 2026AD being held? - **A:** An Evening with Andy Pye - The Artifacts of Summer 2026AD takes place on Fri, 20 Feb, 2026 at 06:30 pm to Fri, 20 Feb, 2026 at 08:00 pm at Rebecca Jansma Interior Design, 43 Gheringhap Street, Geelong, Australia. - **Q**: Who is organizing An Evening with Andy Pye - The Artifacts of Summer 2026AD? - **A:** An Evening with Andy Pye - The Artifacts of Summer 2026AD is organized by Rebecca Jansma Interior Design. - **Q**: Who is this event for?
