We are very excited to have the opportunity to visit the Elliott- Eyes Collection in the owners’ Terrace home in Erskineville on Tuesday 18 April. Our hosts are Gordon Elliott and Michael Eyes. Their collection (219 pieces to be precise) of mainly Australian and New Zealand works is to be found in every room and on every wall of their home, as well as in the courtyard. They have recently decided to open their collection to the public showing small groups through their house by appointment. Expect to be surprised and amazed. The collection unfolds throughout the house. Gordon and Michael are our tour guides and they will introduce you to their art works and tell the story.
As this collection is in a private home tour groups are small (maximum 12); therefore we will have two tours back to back, one commencing at 9.30am and the other commencing at 12noon.
