We're on track to reach our first goal for our AusArt Day fundraiser to upgrade our Print Room!

Our first priority for the space is installing a reverse cycle air conditioner. Creative Australia are helping us with the heavy lifting by doubling all donations up to $5,000 meaning we only need to reach $2.5K to make our first goal possible!

Meet Pat McCarthy - an artist, surfboard builder, teacher, workshop facilitator, and one of our Print Room Ambassadors for 2026!

Help us upgrade our Print Room this AusArt Day by making a donation via the link in our bio! All donations up to $5,000 will be matched by Creative Australia and are tax deductible.

Have you seen these pieces in 64Fifty?

Jamie not only painted each work with intricate detail, but he also handmade the frames to suit each piece!

His two resin tables are also made by hand, with hours of effort (and lots and lots of sanding) pouring into each.

Don't miss your chance to marvel over these works. 64Fifty is on in the Main Gallery until Saturday 31 October.
Gallery Open Tue - Fri 10am - 4pm & Sat 12 - 4pm

Works featured -
Best Before, acrylic on panel.
Fin Dining, resin coated table.
CAT-HOLIC, resin coated table.
