The summer-long exhibition includes significant Australian paintings, avant-garde fashion garments from the International Woolmark Prize archive at The Woolmark Company, and a host of wool-inspired activities, workshops, floor talks, a collaborative residency as part of the Wall Project, and a children's art trail.
“This is an outstanding exhibition – from historic artworks to contemporary fashion, this show brings together art and fashion with a quintessential Australian feel,” gallery director Rachel Piercy said.
“We have some very strong textile based artists and groups in the region and The Art of Wool is sure to inspire,” Ms Piercy said.
“This exhibition is not to be missed, and for the first time the gallery will be open throughout the Christmas and New Year holiday season.”
Aiming to bridge the gap between farm and fashion, The Art of Wool is a touring exhibition from the New England Regional Art Museum (NERAM) in partnership with The Woolmark Company.
