Couch Empire

12/06/2020

Check out our opening night virtual tour! We know that getting off the couch isn’t always possible for spoonies, so we wanted to make sure everyone could be a part of the event. A huge thank you to the wonderful Lee Mason for putting it together.

A VIRTUAL TOUR OF THE OPENING NIGHT FOR COUCH EMPIRES ART EXHIBITION.

12/06/2020

The Couch Empire exhibition is back on at Gasworks! We’ve spruced the place up with a few new pieces so it’s worth a visit even if you’ve already been.

For anyone interested in going to the Couch Empire exhibition at Gasworks Art Park tomorrow, there is a fresh food market on. Some crowds are expected and we’d recommend anyone in the ‘vulnerable’ category to visit on another day.

The Couch Empire exhibition is now on until Sunday, April 19. That means you have an extra three weeks to absorb the fabulous work and stories featured in this exhibition. We know this is a tough time for everyone, especially the chronic illness community. But this is an awesome way to get out of the house with minimal risk of contagion. It's a small venue, there aren't any crowds and bathrooms are easily accessible for hand washing. Come join us on the couch and see what life is like when you have a chronic illness
