The Roxy Gallery has been working alongside Arts Northern Rivers to support and host an exhibition by emerging Aboriginal artists living in the Northern Rivers region.  Dalaang Galii Wogun will be on show from October 14 and run through until November 6.  Through this exhibition, the Roxy Gallery hopes to provide people with a broader insight into the creative talents of the artists on show.

Artist Jai Walker, who first exhibited at the Roxy Gallery in 2003 has gone on to hold his own solo exhibition at Boomalii in Sydney.  Artists Margaret Torrens and Janelle Duncan recently created a work with the Casino Wake Up Time group, titled ‘Slumber Party‘ that was shown at the 2022 Sydney Biennale, taking their fibre and printmaking talents to a new level.

The artists involved in this exhibition are producing works in a variety of mediums from painting, ceramics, fibre and textiles along with works in the printed form of block prints, screen-printing and film and screen media.

The works in this exhibition are contemporary and draw upon some traditional elements of local aboriginal art styles and storytelling.  The official opening of this exhibition will take place on Saturday 15 October from 1-3 pm where members of the public will have an opportunity to meet the artists.

On Sunday 30 October from 2-4pm join the Roxy Gallery to mark Dia de los Muertos, (Day of the Dead Ceremony).  In the gathering spirit Jenny Fraser will be curating a Solid Screening of Indigenous short films.    Let us have a yarn and raise a glass in joyful tribute of our loved ones in the spirit world.

Jenny asks that you get into the spirit of this event by coming dressed for a spooky Mexico Style event and bring along some flowers.  There will be prizes for the best dressed
