The Corner Store Gallery is celebrating our 6th anniversary this August with a Group Exhibition of new work exploring the notion on HOME in the time of Coronavirus lockdowns.

What a strange and unsettling year 2020 has been. Our world was turned upside down due to the Coronavirus epidemic and many of us have experience the most difficult few months of our lives. With forced lockdowns, quarantine and isolation rules, many of us have been spending a lot of time at home. Home means something different to everyone, and we’d like to hear your stories.

Jan, Rita and Genevieve crossed paths over the years through French classes, University and TAFE connections. Their journeys recently intersected again through art and they revelled in discovering their shared passion for interpreting the beauty of nature through colour, light, stillness and movement. In this exhibition, they bring together a rich array of techniques and forms as they recount moments from their travels and experiences in their individual and unique styles.

Our annual 8x10 Group Exhibition is back for a 3rd year and what a fabulous selection of mini artworks we have for you!  79 artworks have made their way to the gallery from all over Australia with local artists representing a large percentage of the selected work.  We have all sorts of styles, subjects and mediums; painting, drawing, photography, encaustic, mixed media and 3D pieces, all measuring 8x10 inches.

We've had a fantastic response to our most recent call for artists to be part of our Works on Paper Group Exhibition.  Artists were invited to submit work of any medium or subject matter on paper measuring A3 in size.  All 30 selected artworks will be displayed in a magnetic wooden poster hanger, we're keeping in simple this Summer.  With a fantastic variety of styles, mediums and subject matter there is truly something for everyone.

BLUE is the 2nd Group Exhibition at The Corner Store Gallery for 2018.  Artists are invited to submit work of any medium, subject matter or size that predominantly features the colour blue.  The idea for this exhibition came to gallery director Madeline Holborow in 2017 while hanging the annual 8x10 exhibition.  Many of the artworks were primarily blue in colour and looked spectacular all displayed together.  Let's wash the gallery in blue just to celebrate colour for the sake of colour.  The exhibition will include the most exciting and original artworks submitted for selection from artists and designers from all over Australia.

Apply now to be part of our annual 8x10 Group Exhibition.  The exhibition will be on display from February 1st 2018 - applications close January 21st!
