At MRAG we love talking about art. We talk about it so much that sometimes we need to stop 🛑 and think about the words we’re using. Enjoy this little snippet as @bobbsey chews over some artspeak then pop on in and see us so we can talk about art IRL! 🎨📣

This year opened with a bang with the announcement that I won 2025 Brenda Clouton prize, and the time following has been such a whirlwind 🌬️

Thankyou so much to the judges of the 2025 Brenda Clouton @katybplummer and @vicki_woods_au 💜💚 It’s been so good meeting you both through this 🤗🤗

I’m so happy that I was blessed to share this ephemeral work with everyone in this way before parts of it begin to reintegrate back to the earth. 🪴🍁🍂

I’ll be back at @maitlandregionalartgallery with Deputy Director @courtsnovak having a Conversation about developing a career in the arts - next week on June 10th, check out the link in my bio for more deets.

What an incredible day and show at @amesyavuz today 🖤💛❤️

We’ve got goosebumps from the powerful talks given by bosses Tuppy Goodwin and @robertfielding_. As @bobbsey put it: the leadership shown by these two has paved the way for a whole generation of artists and cultural leaders. Grateful to everyone who came to support (and celebrate) this landmark moment of sharing.
