Puppet Show at ImaginArta
Join us at our ImaginArta Puppet Theatre for “The Story of Mr B.” by Shake Shake Theatre
This surprise filled puppet show, set in a giant pop-up book, tells the story of Mr Bumblegrum. As we turn from one page to the next, this grumbling character goes on a colourful, moving journey through the seasons. Nature tries to cheer him up with tenderness and humour; trees play, the sun swirls, mushrooms laugh and snow falls. As spring arrives Mr Bumblegrum realises he wants friendship again.
Can you help blow the stormy clouds away?

Built in an old suitcase, the show is inspired by Andersen’s famous tale “The Nightingale of the Emperor of China”, where a nightingale with a marvellous song and a prodigious mechanical bird compete with each other and end up being stopped, to the great displeasure of the sovereign who owns them.“An exclusive pleasure for those who get involved here. Pierre Filliez has created a very special “fairy tale” atmosphere with his voice, facial expressions and gestures. ”

Two + One Exhibition
New art exhibition with paintings from Ann and Glen Morton with ceramics by Greg Daly.
Siblings Ann and Glenn Morton were born in Cowra, country New South Wales in 1958. The Morton family always competed in the local show, and Ann found her niche in the art competition, often taking months to complete a dozen or more works each year for the show. Working mainly in black and white in the early years, animals, birds, still life and portraits made an amazingly good foundation for a career in art. Ann has had her work hung in The Archibald Portrait Prize, The Doug Moran Portrait Prize and The Portia Geach Portrait prize. Glenn is a well-known traditional artist and is a member of the Morton Gallery in Cowra. Exhibiting with Ann and Glenn, renowned ceramicist Greg Daly is internationally known and respected as a ceramic artist specialising in rich glaze effects. His work is represented in 24 international book publications, in 80 national and international art galleries and museums (including the National Gallery of Australia and the Victoria & Albert Museum, London), and he has won 36 national and international awards and is the author of three books on glazes.
The Morton gallery is one of Cowra’s tourist attractions showcasing a lifetime of artwork by the Morton family Ron Morton, Ann Morton and Glenn Morton. This exhibition will display Glen’s passion for art and his interpretations of still subjects & landscape within landscapes. In this exhibition, Greg’s ceramics will feature in Ann Morton’s still life paintings as well as stand-alone artworks. The two artists have combined their talents to showcase their extraordinary skills jointly in the superb still life paintings by Ann and exquisite ceramics by Greg.

This and That exhibition showcasing incredible talent launches at the Milk Factory
Emerging Sydney artist Layla Stanley has chosen the Milk Factory gallery in Bowral to display her debut exhibition ‘This and That’ launching this weekend.
Ms Stanley created a series of lifelike drawings inspired by Australia’s iconic native birds in a new intimate exhibition, alongside local artists Timm O’Regan, Linda Chant and Tony Dagg to showcase drawings, sculptures, paintings and ceramics.
A former architecture graduate, Ms Stanley turned her side-hustle into a thriving business after becoming inundated with commissions during the pandemic lock-downs.
Ms Stanley said her pastel drawings for this collection are inspired by the emotion and personality of birds she has met in aviaries and in the wild.
“I like to get up close and personal with my subjects, waiting until the birds are relaxed enough to approach me so that I can take in every detail, particularly their feathers and colours,” Ms Stanley said.
The 28-year-old then takes photos and begins to bring them to life on the canvas, painstakingly drawing for up to 12 hours per day with each portrait taking around two weeks to complete.
Her works of art feature up-close views of species including cockatoo, lorikeet, hawk and parrot are as striking as they are beautiful.
“I’ve been fascinated by animals and the way they find ways to communicate with you for as long as I can remember,” says Ms Stanley.The artist is a regular visitor to Bowral to visit family, and loves the escape from the City the highlands provides.
Her aim for this collection is to bring a little bit of joy or relief to people after a tough few years.
This and That, Us and Them, new works by Layla Stanley, Linda Chant, Tony Dagg and Timm O’Regan is showing at Milk Factory, Pop Up Gallery 1 Southern Highlands until 14 September.
