Event Agenda: Conversations about life’s beginnings, changes, and endings artwork.

You will be taken to see three artworks. We will sit for about 25 -30 mins and share thoughts and experiences prompted from viewing the work and thinking about the content.

This program encourages you to have conversations about life, stimulated by and in the presence of artworks from the Art Gallery of New South Wales collection.

No prior experience of art or conversations about life’s beginnings challenges or endings needed, just a willingness to look, listen and share if you feel you want to.
