SUMMARY:Women & Art: Myths\, Legends and Goddesses (Exhibition)
DESCRIPTION:An exhibition by Cassi-Jo Davis and Miranda FreeMarch 18 – April 24. Mon-Fri\, 10am-4pmArtist Talk: April 20\, 11.30am\n\n\n\nCassi-Jo Davis is a textile artist from Bridgetown whose work explores the feminine connection to nature through personal stories and challenges faced by historical and contemporary women. She is fascinated with ancient folklore stories and symbolism of the feminine throughout history and from different cultures. She is inspired by Religious & Spiritual Art\, Art Nouveau\, Japanese Art\, the Pre-Raphaelites and Figurative artists. Cassi creates layered\, richly coloured and textured works using antique and recycled textiles\, paint and embroidery to create wall and wearable art that speak to the viewer on a deeply felt level.  \n\n\n\nMiranda Free is a representational painter from Nannup who usually works in oils but has a deep interest in learning and experimenting with a variety of media. Launching into a body of work featuring legendary women and goddesses important to the arts\, she is inspired by the work of Margaret Macdonald Mackintosh\, a member of the Art Nouveau group the ‘Glasgow Four’. Several of these works feature techniques pioneered by Mackintosh that involve using traditional gesso\, egg tempera and are embellished with semi-precious stones\, beads and shell. She is also including Art Nouveau inspired stained glass works and oil paintings typical of her usual practice\, in this exhibition. \n\n\n\nCassi’s and Miranda’s works resonate due to their shared inspirations and interest in highly patterned and floral surfaces. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPrint\n				Print (Opens in new window)\n				Print\n			\n				Email a link to a friend (Opens in new window)\n				Email

SUMMARY:The Memory of Trees
DESCRIPTION:An Exhibition by Heloise Roberts & Moira FearbyMay 28 to June 26Exhibition Launch: Thursday\, June 4\, 6-8pm\n\n\n\nRoberts and Fearby met as teenagers at art school and have since developed a collaborative practice interrogating place\, identity\, and environmental consciousness. Their work has received several awards\, including the 2025 Ludlow Landscape Prize\, the 2013 Black Swan Heritage Prize for Living City\, and the Castaways Sculpture Award Sustainability Prize in 2021 and 2023 for Pathogen and Insidious respectively. They have been finalists in the Black Swan Portrait Prize (2014\, 2016) and the 2024 Perth Royal Art Prize for Landscape with Echoes of Duality—Sugarloaf Rock. Most recently\, they were selected for Tracework\, a survey of contemporary art in the Southwest at Bunbury Regional Art Gallery. \n\n\n\nIn 2024\, they began a series of large-scale landscapes evoking memory and place. Crafted from drawn and painted plywood tiles\, these works imbue iconic views with nostalgia. Their modular construction allows for both cohesion and dissonance\, mirroring how collective and individual experiences of place diverge and merge. \n\n\n\nTheir work reimagines landscape as an active collaborator—shaping identity through memory\, materiality\, and movement. The exhibition\, The Memory of Trees\, traces these entangled geographies\, where place becomes a site of shared belonging that invites viewers to reflect on their own spatial narratives. This body of work extends their fascination with the natural landscape that has shaped them\, exploring how familiarity and distance shape memory. \n\n\n\nIn an era of climate anxiety\, The Memory of Trees\, offers an alternative mode of engagement with the natural world. These works do not shout or accuse; they ask viewers to remember what they love—and to consider\, quietly\, what it would mean to lose it. This is art as gentle witness. \n\n\n\nThe artists’ earlier work engaged more directly with environmental threat. Pathogen and Insidious confronted viewers with the slow\, creeping damage of ecological change. In The Memory of Trees\, they have turned toward what is precious\, what is worth protecting\, what is already being carried forward in memory. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSouth West Biennial 2026: Tracework is presented by Bunbury Regional Art Gallery in partnership with Arts Margaret River\, Nala Bardip Mia – Margaret River HEART and other participating venues across WA. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPrint\n				Print (Opens in new window)\n				Print\n			\n				Email a link to a friend (Opens in new window)\n				Email

SUMMARY:Head On Portrait Awards
DESCRIPTION:May 29-June 25. Mon-Fri\, 10am-4pm\n\n\n\nThe prestigious Head On Photo Awards celebrates the world’s best in photography\, illuminating the perspectives\, styles\, and forms that break new ground. We want to challenge emerging photographers to bring audiences new ways of seeing the world. Our dual aim is to ensure photographers are valued for their incredible creative contributions and to create a forum where exceptional images can be shared. \n\n\n\nThis is underpinned by Head On’s diverse and experienced curation team\, which actively seeks bold\, daring\, and exciting images. Our blind judging process\, where artists’ names are hidden\, ensures this work is done on an even playing field. \n\n\n\nEvery photo is judged on impact alone\, which reflects our unique curation philosophy. Head On believes that curation must consider both the seen and the unseen. Truly great photographs reveal a truth about our world without sacrificing the imagination. They allow you to dream of what it would be like to be on the ground when a photo was made and give you a fleeting glimpse into the life unfolding around the moment. \n\n\n\nThe Head On Portrait Awards (est. 2004) is a prestigious competition that recognizes the talents of portrait photographers at all career stages. Prizes are awarded to artists who demonstrate a unique visual literacy of portraiture and innovative approaches to the traditional portrait form\, expanding our idea of what a portrait can be. \n\n\n\nPosed or candid\, intimate or public\, dynamic or static\, these portraits explore the future of photography and the depths of the human condition. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPresented by @headonphotofest \n\n\n\nImages: Chrystal dé Louise\, Livia Peres\, Philip Gostelow\, Sally Griffiths\, Therese Maher\, Yannis Kontos.
