Eco  Annandale is an annual exhibition, artists and their works can be seen on the website via here

Not only is my art practice concerned with sustainability, I have a personal connection to Annandale with recently sighting my great grandfather's picture up on the wall of the Annandale Town Hall amongst many other past mayors.

mosiac mural must see

  

In the Lords Road Tunnel (yes down from Art Est) a beautiful community artwork by a long list of community members and students is up for viewing. The original mural design is by April Keogh, the mosaic assemblage direction by Nola Diamantopoulos and the internal story wall by Joel Tarling. Here via U-Tube is a great film about it.

Signage and info installed reads...

It is a beautiful thing seeing men at work and an iron "whipple truss" bridge! Please go and read more at the tunnel.

Leichhardt Jubilee Pressed

until the end of April

Together the Leichhardt Library and Hill End Press (Bill Moseley and Genevieve Carroll  from the heritage gold-mining town of Hill End) have put on a fabulous exhibition with a fresh reprinting from the original 52 metal printing blocks (below) of the 1921 Leichhardt Jubilee celebrations. And yes Iron Cove included!! It runs until the end of April at the Leichhardt Library as part of their Heritage Festival. My photos aren't the best here and a closer inspection of familiar places and faces of the past are worth a visit.
