Vinylscapes
Saturday 22nd August
Saturday 12th September
Saturday 3rd October
7pm - 10pm
Vinylscapes Natimuk is a relaxed music/social event where people bring their favourite vinyl records from their collection and listen with others over a glass of wine. Vinyl record listening parties are a great way to spend an evening with friends, listening to the crackle and pops of those favourite vinyl records, and tracks you may have never heard before. Don't have any vinyl records? That's OK, we will make sure there are a bunch to choose from, or you can just come and listen.

walk (Work) Book
COco tsai
August 14 6pm-8pm
Coco Tsai is an artist from Taiwan who has just spent two weeks in Natimuk as an artist in residence at Natimuk Exile.
Walk(work)book
A workbook is written with words.
A walkbook is written with footsteps.
Every day begins with a step.
Every step becomes a note.
Every burnt mark becomes a trace.
The layers hold different distances of time.
What comes before and after,
what stays,
and what slowly disappears.
Burning is a way of revealing.
Like footprints left on a journey,
each scar quietly records
a life being lived.
This work is a walkbook
where walking becomes working,
and every ordinary day
writes another page of time.

SENSORIum VIi
Sue Pavlovich
July 1 - 12
Participate in a sensory experience which form references of a person’s earliest experiences of sounds, texture, smell, reminding them of comfortable, safe spaces and the installation provides a secure place to reflections.
Reflections of memories are created by the things we touch, we smell, we feel.
They are art forms that a person sits in, that provoke memories by smell, touch, a place of safety. Each installation has a point of difference so that the participant will walk away with discrete different memories of past experience.
The exhibition is a construction of memories by the participant and the built environment of the artworks are the agents which inspire memories to arise.
The body of made works in the exhibition spans 2015-current.

Lessons Learned
The Class of ‘88
7 - 20 March
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.

Natimuk Exile
21 - 28 February
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 just before our town was devastated by a destructive bushfire.
Several weeks later we held an exhibition ‘closing’ event and Micheal is made 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.

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.
