6pm- Celebrate the joint opening with us of these two amazing exhibitions 'sensoria'l and 'Meraki: Lace made with Passion, Creativity and Love'.



'sensorial' is a groundbreaking exhibition created with the neurodivergent community in mind. Visitors are invited to touch, listen, and be immersed in the artworks, rather than simply observe them.

Curated by Blue Mountains City Council’s Artistic Program Leader, Rilka Oakley, the exhibition brings together new and existing works by neurodivergent and disabled artists, as well as artists who collaborate closely with them. Featured artists include Alison Bennett with Megan Beckwith; Liam Benson; Ramana Dienes-Browning; the Inspired by Art class led by Clare Delaney; and Katoomba Neurodiversity Hub led by Amy Bell &amp; Eliza Gooch, Bailee Lobb, Prue Stevenson and Hannah Surtees.

Originally supported by the Dobell Exhibition Grant, funded by the Sir William Dobell Art Foundation and managed by Museums &amp; Galleries of NSW, sensorial has already been recognised with the Accessible Arts Award for Access at the 2024 IMAGinE Awards.

 

'Meraki' celebrates creativity, passion and love through contemporary lace art. Inspired by the Janice Jones Lace Collection in Uralla, 'Meraki' blends immersive sound and projection with sculptural and wearable works by Australian and New Zealand artists and showcases centuries-old techniques reimagined for today.

Louis van Ekert, President Uralla Historical Society will officially open 'Meraki'.
