Exhibition: Generation

The message of a family bond, and a connection to art shines through an exhibition honouring the late artist Vivienne Helliar.

The exhibition called Generation features 15 of Vivienne's artworks, alongside 15 digitally enhanced photos from her grandson, and three artworks form Ms Anderson.

The Secret World of Tallulah McCord

Come and see local artist Tallulah McCord's collection of 50 digital drawings and animations at the Mental Bowral.

It is the inaugural exhibition in the new FUNDAMENTAL gallery which re-opened its doors to the public on Saturday in Mittagong.
