The Friends and the Manning Regional Art Gallery are pleased to host our next exhibition openings. Join us in opening A Long Summer and Natural Instincts.

A Long Summer
Rod Spicer 

.... steeped by shivering shadows

     all summer long it falls

     by mountain stream

     where poets dream -

     in shimmer in shadow

     it's ghostly echo

     into your bones it crawls....

Natural Instincts
Dave Collins and Jessie Beard

Perceiving the world through a brightly coloured, abstract lens is what comes naturally for father and daughter artists Dave Collins and Jessie Beard. Sharing a love of art has evolved and strengthened their relationship over the years, inspiring and challenging one another to grow in their artistic practice. Now they proudly present their first duo exhibition where it is evident painting the landscape runs through their veins.
