EXHIBITION DATES: 7 DECEMBER 2022 - 5 FEBRUARY 2023

Join us for the opening of EVERYTHING WAS BEAUTIFUL AND NOTHING HURT: ALEX SETON and DOUBLE RAINBOW: MICHELLE GEARIN from 5.30PM Saturday 10 December to celebrate the launch of these two exciting exhibitions.

Alex Seton will be presenting a series of blown glass chandeliers throughout The Lock-Up's historic cells in tribute to those made by Newcastle’s discontinued Leonora Glassworks and commonly seen within entranceways of clubs and RSLs of post-World War II Australia.

Hunter-based artist Michelle Gearin will be presenting a new body of work exploring her personal experience as an Autistic artist responding to the power of the human eye and the science of optics.

Both exhibitions feature site-specific commissions that push each of the artist's practices through the use of new and exciting mediums.

Bookings not required.
