A celebration of local art

A retrospective exhibition aimed at showcasing the innovation, diversity and enduring appeal of projects funded in this region by the Regional Arts Development Fund (RADF) during the past 20 years was on show in Stanthorpe and Warwick.
RADF Turns 20 Project coordinator and curator of the exhibitions, Dorothy Haig, said: “Projects such as the restoration of the old bullock wagon in Killarney with associated veteran logger, Eric Reis; Dawn Heath’s photographs depicting “A Town Like Allora”; stoneworks, Tiddalick on the banks of the Condamine in Warwick and The Lesleys created to overlook Lesley Dam by then Leyburn Sculptor, Vern Foss; and the book, Echoes of Italian Voices: family histories from Queensland’s Granite Belt edited by Franco and Morwenna Arcidiacono from Stanthorpe, are examples of important symbols of life in our communities, symbols which became possible through RADF funding”.
A small number attended the Warwick opening last Thursday. The exhibition was on display at the Warwick Town Hall until Sunday.
