What’s on at the Queen Victoria Women’s Centre

Join us at the Queen Victoria Women's Centre for Out of the Blue: Six Artists, Six Ways of Seeing Blue.  These six artists explore the concept of 'blue' and its wide-ranging associations, including joyous, brooding, cheerful and pensive connotations. The works express diverse approaches to the moods of 'blue' from the natural world, to the world of emotions and feelings. You're invited to experience 'blue' through the eyes of artists Bernadette Boundy, Patricia D. Goldby, Jan Herrera, Sue Lock, Marija Newbold and Liza Posar and be transported. Opening night is on February 2, between 6-8pm at the Queen Victoria Women's Centre. Read more
