SUMMARY:Wonders of HINTON
DESCRIPTION:Experience one of the greatest collections of art in regional Australia with the new semi-permanent display\, Wonders of Hinton. \nThe Howard Hinton Collection is the result of one of the greatest acts of artistic philanthropy and benefaction in Australian history. Between 1929 and 1948 a collection of over 1000 artworks were donated to the newly constructed Armidale Teachers’ College by the retired shipping agent\, Howard Hinton OBE (1866-1948). The collection provides a snapshot into Australian artistic practice in the early twentieth century as well as some insights into this ‘modest and self-effacing’ gentleman who lived in a boarding house in the north shore suburb of Cremorne and is one of the most significant collections of Australian art in regional New South Wales. \nOpening Night Event: Friday 3 February\, 6pm \n

Deeply rooted in her own bi-cultural experience\, a focus of Cheng’s work her is an emergence of identity and awareness through cultural activities\, nostalgia and intergenerational relationships. Her predominant choice of medium reflects an intense relationship through methodologies and manipulation of papers and fibres in sculpture and installation. Cheng’s work has been exhibited nationally and internationally\, including in the Indian Ocean Craft Triennial in 2024 at Fremantle Art Centre\, the Art Gallery of Western Australia in 2023\, and The Geumgang Nature Art Biennale in South Korea in 2020.

Lives and works Boorloo/Perth \nElham Eshraghian-Haakansson is an Iranian-Australian video artist\, researcher\, and director whose work is centered within communal and collaborative social practice. Her research navigates inherited stories and postmemory felt by displaced community through the poetics of the moving image. She invites viewers to become the ‘witness’ rather than the ‘passive bystander’\, examining empathy in film poems\, and immersive multi-media experiences facilitating a critical discussion surrounding empathy\, custodianship\, compassion\, and social change.\nEshraghian-Haakansson has collaborated with various art organisations including Spaced\, Next Wave\, Victoria Park Community Centre\, PICA\, Community Arts Network\, Immerse Australia\, Co3 Dance Contemporary and Encounter theatre.

Lives and works Gadigal Country\, Sydney Dennis Golding was raised on Gadigal Country in Sydney and stems from the Kamilaroi/Gamilaraay of Northwest NSW and Biripi of Mid-north coast of NSW. His work critiques the social\, political\, and cultural representations of race and identity\, drawing from his own experiences living in urban environments and through childhood memories.

Intrigued by what is lost in translation\, she examines the spaces between words\, capturing overlooked subtleties. Through immersive installations\, works on paper\, sculpture\, and multimedia\, Lee delves into the scars of history and cultural legacies. By deconstructing and reconstructing materials that echo the past\, she reveals hidden stories and suppressed memories. Lee’s work reimagines dormant narratives\, inviting reflection on the complexities of inherited histories. Transformation is central to her practice\, as she\nreinterprets historical narratives to uncover unseen forces shaping identity and collective memory\, creating space for new meanings to emerge. Lee’s work has been showcased in national and international institutions including the National Gallery of Victoria\, TarraWarra Museum of Art\, and the Pitt Rivers Museum in Oxford. She is represented by MARS Gallery in Naarm/Melbourne. \nJames Nguyen\nBorn 1982\, Bảo Lộc\, Việt Nam. Lives and works Naarm/Melbourne \nJames Nguyen was born in Bảo Lộc\, Việt Nam. He is currently based in Murrumbeena (close to where the Boyds once ran their pottery studios). Nguyen’s work engages with reMatriation\, decolonial thinking and language-brokering. He makes memes\, performances\, film\, sculpture and installation etc\, drawing attention to the diasporic absurd. Nguyen has shown both ground-breaking and lacklustre work at institutions such as the Museum of Contemporary Art Australia\, the National Gallery of Victoria\, the Australian Centre for Contemporary Art\, 4A Centre for Contemporary Asian Art\, Fairfield City Museum and Gallery\, and Guangzhou Academy of Fine Art. \nJames Tylor\nKaurna\, Thura-Yura language region \nBorn 1986\, Latje Latje/Barkindji Country\, Mildura\, Victoria. Lives and works Ngunnawal/Ngambri Country\, Kamberri/Canberra James Tylor is a multi-disciplinary who explores Australian environment\, culture and social history\, through photography\, video\, painting\, drawing\, sculpture\, installation\, sound\, scents and food. He explores Australian cultural representations through the perspectives of his multicultural heritage comprising Nunga (Kaurna Miyurna)\, Māori (Te Arawa) and European (English\, Scottish\, Irish\, Dutch and Norwegian) ancestry. Tylor’s work focuses largely on the history of 19th century Australia and its continual effect on present day issues surrounding cultural identity and the environment. His research\, writing and artistic practice has focused most specifically on Kaurna indigenous culture from the Adelaide Plains region of South Australia and more broadly European colonial history in Southern Australia. His practice also explores Australian indigenous plants and the environmental landscape of Southern Australia. Tylor’s work has been exhibited widely nationally and internationally and is held in major  collections including the National Gallery of Australia\, Art Gallery of NSW\, Art Gallery of South Australia\, Art Gallery of Western Australia\, Museum of Contemporary Art Australia and the Kluge Ruhe Aboriginal Art Museum in Charlottesville\, USA \n  \nImage: James Nguyen\, Homeopathies_where new trees grow (detail)\, 2025.

SUMMARY:Pochettes en Fête
DESCRIPTION:Pochettes en Fête celebrates the elegance\, glamour and enduring allure of the vintage handbag. Bringing together a selection of beautifully crafted pochettes\, clutches and evening bags alongside contemporary artworks\, the exhibition explores fashion accessories not simply as objects of style\, but as carriers of memory\, identity and cultural history.

The vintage handbag collection of Jane Vallance White\, generously donated by her daughter Janet White to raise funds for the gallery\, forms the heart of the exhibition. \nA silent auction for a beautiful selection of the handbags is currently running online and will end at 7:30pm July 25th at the NERAM Nights: Speakeasy & Auction.

SUMMARY:Faces from the Hinton Collection
DESCRIPTION:Open Air Gallery Exhibition \nThe Howard Hinton Collection is one of the most significant collections of Australian art held outside a capital city\, formed through the extraordinary generosity of patron Howard Hinton. Between 1928 and 1948\, Hinton donated over 1\,000 artworks to the Armidale Teachers’ College with a clear vision: to create a collection that would illustrate the development of Australian art and make it accessible for education and public enjoyment. \nWithin this broader ambition\, portraiture plays a vital role. Alongside landscapes and still life\, portraits offer a different kind of record\, not of place\, but of people. They capture likeness\, character\, status and identity\, while also revealing the sensibilities of the artist and the cultural values of their time. In the Hinton Collection\, portraiture reflects a formative period in Australian art\, when artists were negotiating both inherited European traditions and an emerging national identity. \nThe ten works brought together in Faces from the Hinton Collection highlight the diversity of approaches to portraiture across this period. Some works emphasise physical resemblance and careful observation; others move toward mood\, atmosphere or psychological presence. Together\, they demonstrate how portraiture is not simply about depicting a sitter\, but about constructing meaning — a relationship between artist\, subject and viewer. \nAs you move through the exhibition\, these faces invite close looking. They ask us to consider not only who is represented\, but how and why. In doing so\, they continue Hinton’s original intention: to use art as a means of education\, reflection and connection across generations. \n  \nThe Armidale Open Air Gallery is a public art initiative presented by Armidale Regional Council in collaboration with New England Regional Art Museum. Designed to enrich the cultural landscape of the region\, this outdoor exhibition showcases a curated selectin of artworks in public spaces\, offering residents and visitors accessible and engaging visual arts experience. Artworks featured in the gallery will rotate on a six-monthly basis\, ensuring a continually refreshed display that reflects the diversity and creativity of local and regional artists. The initiative not only celebrates artistic excellence but also fosters community connection through the integration of art into everyday environments. \n

SUMMARY:Qigong Guided Practice
DESCRIPTION:To coincide with the exhibition The Neighbour at the Gate\, you are invited to a special guided Qigong practice. \nQigong (pronounced ‘chee-goong’) is a health practice that is part of Traditional Chinese Medicine and has been practiced for over five millennia. It combines slow flowing movements with the breath and focused intention to circulate the energy or ‘qi’ in our bodies. Literally translated as ‘energy work or skill’\, qigong is an energy-based art that aims to cultivate a healthy and balanced flow of qi through the body’s organs and meridians (energy pathways in Chinese Medicine). Regular qigong practice teaches us how to work skilfully with our energy\, leading to better general health\, greater capacity to manage stress and emotions\, and a deep feeling of groundedness. \nCome along to this session to experience a guided practice. \nWho is it for? The practice is suitable for people of all ages and a wide variety of abilities\, including those experiencing illness\, pain or injury. It can be done seated or standing. \n\n \nMichelle Jamieson is a local qigong and mindfulness instructor. She has a background as health researcher and tertiary educator\, and her work explores the relationship between mind\, body and emotions in health and illness. \n  \n

SUMMARY:Artist Talk: Dennis Golding
DESCRIPTION:Join us to hear from Neighbour at the Gate exhibiting artist Dennis Golding as he discusses his work Bingo (2025). \nBingo (2025) draws from Kamilaroi/Gamilaraay artist Dennis Golding’s recollections of family bingo nights hosted by his Nan and Aunty on Eveleigh Street in Redfern. Gathering in an abandoned terrace\, they stitched together joy from what little they had – cutting game cards from cardboard\, running power through borrowed cords\, and making space for community. \nThe brick-like etchings and plates resemble the terracotta terraces of Redfern – a vital site of Aboriginal community resistance\, where Dennis was raised. \nEach card tells a family story: cats curled on sun-warmed steps\, the long coil of a corded phone\, letters opened slowly\, a cup of tea cooling by the sink\, the quiet rattle of fishing gear. Earthy tones recall the walls of Dennis’ childhood and the ochres of Aboriginal art\, while blue and red ink – reminiscent of biro pens – echoes the everyday. Some surfaces bear the dust of soil pressed gently into the paper\, a residue of place. \nBingo offers no easy nostalgia. It speaks of strength formed in closeness\, of laughter shared across tables\, of walls that held community\, not confinement. It is a tender monument to survival\, made from the small\, enduring things that hold us. \n‘It wasn’t about winning\, but the feeling of freedom and connection.’\n– Dennis Golding \nDennis Golding was raised on Gadigal Country in Sydney and stems from the Kamilaroi/Gamilaraay of Northwest NSW and Biripi of Mid-north coast of NSW. His work critiques the social\, political\, and cultural representations of race and identity\, drawing from his own experiences living in urban environments and through childhood memories. \nGolding graduated with a Bachelor of Fine Arts (Honours) at UNSW Art & Design in 2019 and now works independently as an artist and curator. His work has been exhibited at major institutions including the Art Gallery of South Australia\, the Art Gallery of NSW\, Sydney Living Museums\, and Carriageworks\, and has been commissioned for various public art installations around Sydney. In 2020\, he was awarded the Create NSW Visual Arts Fellowship. \n\n \n  \nThe Neighbour at the Gate is a commissioned exhibition project for the National Art School\, proudly supported by the NSW Government through the Blockbusters Funding initiative. The exhibition will be accompanied by a publication\, learning and education framework and public programs. \n \n

SUMMARY:Term 3 2026 | Wednesday Art Class with Kerry Gulliver
DESCRIPTION:\nEnjoy the stimulus of doing art in a group. \nWhile individual guidance comprises the main bulk of the class\, I will also be doing regular demonstrations on anything related to painting and drawing\, such as collage\, paint transfer\, frottage\, sgraffito\, dry brushing\, stencilling\, and more. If you are new to art I can help you get started on the basics\, such as looking at line\, colour\, perspective. \nYou are welcome to join the class no matter what your skill levels are. If you are unsure of the how to begin\, just turn up on the first day and I can help determine the best approach for you. \nThe class is quite casual\, with many of the ongoing students working on their own projects\, taking guidance as needed. \nKerry Gulliver is a skilled artist and educator who has exhibited regularly in Armidale\, Sydney\, and Tamworth. She has trained in visual arts\, animation\, colour theory\, and graphic design; she works regularly with community and other groups to run a range of art courses. \nDates |  Wednesday July 22  – Wednesday  Septmeber 23 (10 weeks)  \n\nTime | 10:00am – 3:00pm \nVenue | Packsaddle Studio (located at the rear of NERAM ) \nCost |  Friends of NERAM/Culture Club Members – $329\, General – $362 \nMaterials | BYO – please see below for a list of recommended supplies \nMin 10/Max 18 \n \n\n  \n  \nFor more information please email foh@neram.com.au \nImage | Courtesy of Kerry Gulliver \n\nMaterials required for class:\n\nBring any reference material that inspires you\, whether photographic\, or of other artwork. It’s a good way to get started. I have on display art books for referencing also. If you like to draw bring Cartridge paper (A3 or A4 size)\, pencils in a range of hardness (but more in the soft range)\, rubbers\, crayons\, coloured pencils and any other materials that you like to work with. \nFor painting\, acrylic paint is the most practical (some people are using oils or watercolours).

SUMMARY:Unfamiliar Territory: Angus Nivison
DESCRIPTION:Unfamiliar Territory is a major survey exhibition celebrating five decades of practice by one of Australia’s most respected contemporary painters. Bringing together significant works from public and private collections alongside the artist’s own holdings\, the exhibition traces the evolution of Nivison’s deeply atmospheric and abstract engagement with the land. Based in Walcha in the New England region of New South Wales\, Nivison’s practice is grounded in place yet resists literal representation. His paintings operate within an abstract and affective register\, where landscape persists as an emotional and conceptual presence rather than a fixed image. Through layered surfaces\, subtle shifts of colour and immersive fields of mark-making\, the works invite viewers into experiences of ambiguity\, beauty and contemplation. \nMarking the largest solo exhibition of his work to date\, Unfamiliar Territory reveals an artist continually pushing the possibilities of abstraction while creating space for reflection\, memory and wonder to emerge through the act of looking. \n  \n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nUnfamiliar Territory will exhibit at NERAM from the 31st of July until the 18th of October.\n\n\n\nOpening night will run from 6pm-8pm on Friday 31st July. An artist talk will be held at 10.30am on Saturday 1st August.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nImage credit: Angus Nivison\, Chaos Theory (detail)\, 2026. acrylic\, graphite\, gesso\, pigment and fixative on polyester\n\n  \n

SUMMARY:Mohani Art with Jeannette Kommer
DESCRIPTION:Jeannette Kommer\, the artist behind Mohani Art\, graduated from Minerva Art Academy in the Netherlands in 1998. During her studies\, she discovered the central theme that continues to inspire both her art and her life: exploring patterns and learning how to break free from them. \nHer work is created through layers\, templates\, and repeating forms that are continuously built up\, transformed\, and reimagined. While her early work focused on bold colours and geometric shapes on large canvases\, her current paintings are more organic and transparent\, using similar techniques on wooden panels. \nIn this workshop\, you will create your own artwork on a 30 x 30 cm wooden panel. The focus is not on achieving a perfect final piece\, but on discovering and enjoying the creative process. Through playful experimentation\, you’ll learn that having fewer choices can often open up more possibilities. \nUsing small templates and water-diluted acrylic paints\, we’ll build up layers and patterns step by step. After a short lunch break\, you’ll be introduced to a batik-inspired technique that creates beautiful and often surprising effects on the wooden panel. \nThe workshop encourages curiosity\, exploration\, and letting go of expectations about what your artwork should become. For those who would like to dive deeper into the techniques and possibilities\, Jeannette will also share several of her own paintings as examples and inspiration. \nDATES: Sunday August 30 \nTIME: 10am – 3pm (½ hour lunch break) \nVENUE: Packsaddle Studio at NERAM \nCOST: General Price $130\, FoN/CC member Price $120 \nAll materials are included. Bookings are essential. \nImage: Evolving Acryl en lak op hout\, 2013\, Jeanette Kommer. \n\n\n \nTerms and Conditions\n\n\n\n\n\nAll bookings for events\, art classes and workshops require payment in full at the time of booking\nA minimum number of 6 students required for classes to proceed\, please book and pay before 9am Friday 21st August 2026 to ensure classes go ahead\nPlease be aware that once bookings close\, we are unable to offer a refund\nIf the class does not proceed\, you will be refunded any cash amount\nNERAM events have a limited capacity and use a ticketing system. Bookings are essential\nStudent contact details may be passed on to facilitators for communication purposes\n\n\n\n\n\n
