Muswellbrook Regional Arts Centre and Muswellbrook Shire Council are hosting a morning tea in celebration of International Women’s Day.

Join us on 8 March from 11am to 1pm for a day of empowerment, education, and celebration.

As part of the event, we will be welcoming guest speaker Kylie Facer OAM, co-founder of Little Stroke Warriors. The gallery will be unveiling a collection book focused on female artists with an accompanying exhibition:

‘In the spirit of ‘Know My Name’, ‘Women’s Work’ highlights the work of six women artists from the collections at Muswellbrook Regional Arts Centre. Viola Bromley, Edna Garran-Brown, Dorothy Burns, Dorothy Napangardi, Rhonda Thwaite and Vicki Varvaressos were wives, mothers, art advocates and pioneers who made a difference. Individually and collectively, they implemented change for future generations to benefit, and enriched the cultural life of Australia.’

– Emma Collerton

This event will be catered with a coffee van, sandwiches, wraps and treats.

Join us as we come together to recognise the incredible accomplishments of women and pave the way for a more inclusive and equitable future.
