Fiona McMonagle: Classy
14 March to 10 May 2020
Melbourne-based artist Fiona McMonagle is well-known for her watercolours that probe the darker side of pedestrian life in the suburbs. Featuring watercolour, oil painting and animation works that span the last decade plus a series of new paintings, this major exhibition focuses on notions of class within Australian society, and recollections of suburban youth subculture.

Greenworld
18 July to 13 December 2020
The exhibition Greenworld came at a time when, as city dwellers in lockdown, our appreciation for the green and open spaces of our parks, creeks and rivers, and the shoreline of the bay, strengthened.
Access to these pockets of nature close to home became more meaningful and life affirming for people than ever before. Baysiders have an incredible array of places to escape to, even for a moment. This exhibition reflects on the power of nature to offer relief, sustenance and inspiration during times of intense interiority.
Due to the COVID-19 lockdown the exhibition was featured online. Visit Greenworld here
