  • Opening Reception: Different Midnights by Mark Niehus

    West End Art Space 112 Adderley Street, Melbourne, Victoria, Australia

    Different Midnights is a collection of paintings, moving image and free verse that explore the various ways individuals experience solitude.

  • ‘Alter’ – Solo exhibition by Lisa Ray

    Artspace, Jan Manton Gallery 54 Vernon Terrac, Teneriffe, QLD, Australia
