Meet Ruth, a volunteer at Arts Margaret River.

Through ART ON THE MOVE's Gallery Skills training, Ruth has gained the confidence to take on exhibition installation and has discovered a new appreciation for the skill and care involved in handling artworks.

"It gives me a lot more confidence in my ability to volunteerโ€ฆ it's extended my knowledge and opened my interest in what the industry is."

Whether you're a volunteer, gallery staff member or artist, our Gallery Skills workshops provide practical, hands-on training that builds confidence and supports regional arts communities.

These workshops are delivered in partnership with regional venues and made with thanks to support from the WA Government.

"When I lost part of my vision unexpectedly, I also lost my confidence as a visual artist. Skills I took for granted were weakened, and my spatial awareness was compromised.

I was told that my sight was unlikely to return fully, but research told me that learning and relearning was one way to rebuild pathways. I set about rebuilding.

The residency gives me a platform to investigate this further and find visual language for what is difficult to describe with words."

Based in Jambinu/Geraldton, artist Marianne Penberthy is undertaking her 'Activating Collections' residency with the Museum of Geraldton. Informed by her experience of vision loss and a deep fascination with the brain, Marianne's project explores tactility and embodied perception through a sculptural language.

Hear firsthand from Cole Baxter about his experience running a photography workshop for young Koolangkas at Margaret River HEART as part of the 'Ngaluk Waangkiny' tour.

From experimenting with point-and-shoot cameras to creating photographic collages, Cole reflects on how the workshop encouraged curiosity, creativity and storytelling.

A big thank you, Cole, for sharing your skills, creativity and enthusiasm with the next generation of young photographers!

Penny Bovell and Gabby Howlett: 'Underneath/Overlooked' is now open at Arts Narrogin!

Narrogin community members joined Penny on the weekend for the launch of the exhibition, with a welcome to Wilman Noongar Country by Ross Storey.

The exhibition is a celebration of terrazzo, from the artistry of the makers who craft it through to its everyday presence in architecture and design.

It features the beautiful terrazzo designs of the Scolaro family from Capo d'Orlando, Sicily, in many different forms โ€” silk reproductions of the tile patterns, a hands-on pattern-making game, and photos of the homes where these tiles live today.

Grazie mille to everyone who came to celebrate the opening with us! 'Underneath/Overlooked' continues at Arts Narrogin until 25 July.
