Farming and art collide in latest exhibition
A new exhibition that links leading artists with regenerative farmers will open on Friday 16 July 2021 at 6:00pm.

Featuring new work by leading Australian artists Ros Atkins, Jenny Bell, Jo Davenport, Janet Laurence, Tony Nott, Idris Murphy and John Wolseley the project was created through inviting contemporary artists to work on regenerative farms between the Murray and Murrumbidgee rivers in southern New South Wales.
