Art & Culture will resume its 2020 Calendar with a private tour to the Brett Whiteley Studio Gallery. The Brett Whiteley Studio was the workplace and home of Australian artist Brett Whiteley (1939–1992). It has been managed as a museum by the Art Gallery of NSW since 1995.
Our tour will include a short introduction to the studio and to Brett Whiteley the artist as well as highlighted works from the new exhibition, Feathers and Flight. In this exhibition of drawings, paintings and sculpture, Brett Whiteley expresses his joy, humour and love through birds.
Please note that the studio can only accommodate reduced numbers of visitors and tour guests as a result of COVID-19 government regulations (10 people per tour). We will therefore have two tours. The first tour will commence at 10.30am and the second tour will commence at 11.45am. All members are respectfully requested by the Studio to maintain social distancing within the studio and respond accordingly to any requests from Gallery staff.
Changes Effecting Organisation for Art and Culture Tours
- Most venues require organisers of group tours to send them a guest list of attendees and a phone contact for each guest 7-10 days prior to a visit/tour. The phone number is only used in the event of a need to action Covid-19 contact tracing. The supply of a phone contact is a condition when attending.
- Most venues will no longer accept cash payments, therefore members will need to prepay either by Credit Card on the SWIC website or by EFT to the SWIC bank account.
- Most venues have restricted tour group sizes (10 -15 people per tour).
- All venues have specific Covid-19 restrictions that we need to adhere to.
