Connecting art
DAB or Douglas Arts Studio at Mossman is staging its last event of the year and its annual art show, dubbed ‘A year of art, shared with our community’.
DAB president Sue Gillett said each year, an art show gave the organisation “a chance to pause and see what had taken shape through months of looking, experimenting, learning and making”.
“This year’s exhibition brings together the work of our artists in one shared space - and invites gallery visitors, local neighbours and fellow artists to experience that journey for themselves,” she said.
“The works on view reflect many individual perspectives and creative paths.
“Together, they offer a portrait of a year in art: its questions, discoveries, challenges and moments of inspiration.
“Every piece carries the mark of time and attention and each contributes to a larger conversation that becomes possible when the work is seen side by side.
“An annual show is more than a presentation of finished pieces. It is also a celebration of the commitment behind them and of the community that makes room for art to grow.
“For visitors, it is an opportunity to look closely, encounter new ideas and find unexpected points of connection.
“For artists, it is a moment to share their work, recognise one another’s efforts and reflect on how far they have come.
The 24th annual art show starts 14 November, through to 28 November. The gallery in Mill St is open Monday to Saturday 10am-2pm. Entry is a gold coin donation.
