Becoming modern
Tuesday 4 August, 10.30am
Meet in Central Gallery, TMAG
Becoming Modern is a survey exhibition exploring the emergence of modernism in Australia during the twentieth century. Most works are from the TMAG collection, and they feature a roll-call of famous Australian artists.
Our tour of the exhibition will be by two of TMAG’s volunteer art guides: this is a great opportunity to not only learn about the wonderful works in the exhibition, but also to see another of TMAG’s volunteer groups in action. The art guides provide art tours three times per week — Friday, Saturday and Sunday at 11am — and explore changing exhibitions as well as the permanent collection.
Our guides on the day will be:
• Penny Carey-Wells, a former lecturer and technician at the School of Art, University of Tasmania, and a practising artist, bookbinder, and graphic designer. Her motto is that ‘Art saves lives’.
• Ann Hughes is, by profession, a social worker and an editor. She’s an enthusiastic volunteer art guide with an interest in many art forms who believes in the importance of the arts for individual and community well-being.
The tour will run for about an hour. At its conclusion, please join us for cake in the members’ lounge.
This is a FREE event and you are welcome to bring non-member friends. Numbers are limited though so bookings are essential.
