Natimuk Exile

21 - 28 February

Exhibition Closing/Launch

Saturday 28th February 6-7 pm

Michael’s beautiful paintings and monoprints of Natimuk were in the process of being hung in the gallery when our township was evacuated on January 9th.

Several weeks later we are holding an exhibition ‘closing’ event and Micheal is making the trip from Sydney to attend. Nati is now a very different place.

These special works were produced while Michael was in residence at Nati Exile last year. All works are for sale.

March

Lessons Learned

The Class of ‘88

7 - 20 March

Exhibition Launch

Saturday 7th March 6-7 pm

A special exhibition of work by a group of art educators who graduated together in 1988, at a time when schools were being closed and teaching jobs were scarce. Some become artists, some taught, and others persued very different careers. 38 years since graduating, and in honour of friends lost along the way, The Class of ‘88 come together at The Goat Gallery to celebrate the ‘lessons learned’ after 42 years of learning, art, love, loss, and friendship.

A Royal subject - portrait of the new king

a special Frinj festival show

King Charles III is our new King and Memorial Halls around the country are having to replace their old photos of King Charlie’s mum with his new official royal portrait.

As a part of the famous NatiFrinj Festival in November this year, local and regional artists produced a diverse range of artworks that explore what it means to have a new King in the colonial outpost that is the Commonwealth of Australia. Whether you are a staunch republican, a devout royalist, an eternal fan of Queen Elizabeth, an anti-royalist, or completely indifferent to our British head of state, this exhibition gives you a glimpse into the ways our artists think about our new king.

KNIT YOUR REVOLT

sticking our needles to misogynistic knit-wits and extreme conservatism since 2012

Knit Your Revolt (KYR) is a network of rad crafters banding together to produce mass acts of craftivism. They aim to subvert society’s low expectations of craft and women (who are most commonly associated with the art­form) to combat other crazy­-arse notions that abound and create a powerful force of change towards a more equitable world.


Consciously using art­forms and materials that have gendered expectations, KYR highlights many other ridiculous assumptions afoot in the world today relating to gender identity and sexual orientation and other fields of generally bizarro inequity or injustice.
