Something of an unsung hero, Samuel Elyard arrived in the Shoalhaven in 1868 and died here in 1910, and during this time recorded buildings, landscape and the river in art – mostly watercolour – that is celebrated as one of the treasures of our region.
This exhibition, Of Time and Place, will be open until December 7 and surveys his watercolours of the area from his first to last works, and briefly looks at works in oil, drawing and photography.
The exhibition is being staged in the main gallery.
On November 8, exhibition curator Max Dingle, will give a talk and guided tour from 1.30pm.
The access and east galleries feature Lost In Waste: A Landfill Odyssey, while in the foyer gallery is Seeking The Silence by Lissa de Sailles, the culmination of a yearlong journey into the ancient process of basket weaving and experimentation with mainly locally sourced plant fibres.
