OUT in Nathalia (Colour My World - The GV Experience) | Official Opening

OUTintheOPEN Festival 2024 is going "OUT in Nathalia" for an art exhibition at The G.R.A.I.N. Store from Wednesday Nov 6 to Saturday Nov 16. The art exhibition will feature local LGBTQIA+ artists who were asked to respond to the theme “Colour My World”. To officially open the exhibition, there will be an event on Thursday Nov 7 from 6pm, where the participating artists will be invited to speak about their artwork, have a drink and a nibble, and explore the gallery. Then at 7pm, there’ll be a live performance in the gallery’s backyard by local musicians Scarlet Dahlias supported by Indigo Carter. 

A mini-bus will be available for transport to and from the opening event, stopping at Mooroopna KFC at 5:15pm and Shepparton Library at 5:30pm. The bus will be leaving Nathalia at 8:45pm. This is a free event with free nibbles but drinks will be at bar prices. To finish the exhibition on Saturday Nov 16, there’ll be a painting session with the festival’s Artistic Director Ruby, for the ‘Colour My World Greater Shepparton Banner’ project.
