Thru The Lens

Photographers look at the world with a particular “eye”, capturing what is there in plain sight, but which many of us fail to actually see. Photographers in this exhibition present us with their own interpretations of “My Place, My People”. Some images are almost abstract in nature, but leave the viewer with the sense that there is more…. just out of reach.

 

YAVA at Tokar Estate with Crystal Tan

Crystal Tan was a favourite during last year’s Yarra Valley Open Studios. Her colourful, almost meditative watercolour floral arrangements cannot help but turn your frown upside down.

Now showing in Tokar’s beautiful Cellar Door.

Thursday-Sunday 10:30am-5:00pm

6 Maddens Lane, Coldstream. 03 5964 9585

From the Earth

What does it mean to be “from the earth”?

We asked our artist members to explore what the earth means to them and how they can tangibly use it in their creative practices.

Many of them have found a deeper connection with nature, whilst others have expressed their worries for how the daily activities of man affects the natural world around us.

Open: Thursdays 11am to 4pm and Friday to Sundays 11am to 5:00pm
