SUMMARY:Art and Culture - Tour NSW Government House (Tour full)
DESCRIPTION:Our August Art and Culture event is a SWIC Guided Tour of NSW Government House\, the Official Residence and Office of Her Excellency the Honourable Margaret Beazley AC KC\, 39th Governor of New South Wales and Mr Dennis Wilson. Her Excellency is the 28th Governor to occupy this Government House and has held the position since 2 May 2019. \nIn 1788\, soon after a British settlement was established at Sydney Cove\, the first Governor of the colony of New South Wales\, Governor Arthur Phillip\, laid the foundations of Sydney’s first Government House.  It was located in Bridge Street (on the site of the Museum of Sydney) and was home to successive governors until 1845 when Governor Sir George Gipps\, 9th Governor of New South Wales took up residence in the present Government House. Locally quarried sandstone was used for the construction of this new House. Its location and architectural Elizabethan Gothic Revival style was influenced by the existing Governor’s Stables\, that had been completed in 1821 (now the Conservatorium of Music located at the main entry gates to Government House). The present Government House is characterised by castellated towers and other medieval features. \nOver the years the building has been extended\, refurbished and modernised to suit the tastes and needs of successive Governors. Today\, the House holds a significant collection of portraits\, furniture\, decorative arts and gubernatorial memorabilia as a result of Vice Regal patronage. \nPLEASE NOTE: Government House Sydney is the official residence and office of the Governor of New South Wales.

SUMMARY:Art and Culture - The National Art School - Note Change of usual day
DESCRIPTION:In Conversation with NAS Archivist & Tour of Current Exhibition \nOur July event is an introduction to the history of the National Art School by NAS Historian and Archivist Deborah Beck\, followed by a guided tour of OCCURRENT AFFAIR with Gallery Coordinator\, Ashton Biddulph. \nOCCURRENT AFFAIR is a major exhibition featuring new and recent works by Brisbane-established Aboriginal artist collective “proppaNOW”. Established in 2003\, proppaNOW is one of Australia’s leading cultural collectives\, exploring the politics of Aboriginal art and culture\, and provoking\, subverting and re- thinking what it means to be a ‘contemporary Aboriginal artist’. \nThe National Art School\, on the site of the former Darlinghurst Gaol\, stands on Gadigal land.

SUMMARY:Art & Culture - Guided Tour of Yiribana Gallery
DESCRIPTION:For those of you who attended our Art & Culture event in December\, ‘Discover the Art and Architecture of the new Sydney Modern’\, and for those members who have already explored the new building\, we have organised an additional guided tour on Tuesday 21 February 2023. The newly relocated Yiribana Gallery is the first gallery that visitors encounter in the Art Gallery of New South Wales’ new North Building. The inaugural display is inspired by a word from the Aboriginal language of Sydney: burbangana. Meaning to ’take hold of my hand and help me up’\, burbangana is akin to an invitation. It is imbued with generosity and care. It emphasises the connections between people. \nThe exhibited works touch on moments of burbangana in differing ways. Some consider notions of care and guidance through familial relationships. Others offer philosophies for living and profile the intricacies of cultural inheritance\, or they examine ongoing complexities of history and resilience. \nSeveral new acquisitions are displayed alongside collection highlights – including works by Richard Bell\, Emily Kame Kngwarreye\, Reko Rennie\, Yhonnie Scarce and Rover Thomas – showcasing the diversity of practice across the country\, and across time\, media and art styles. \nLorraine Connelly-Northey’s major commission Narrbong-galang (many bags)\, made from rusted and salvaged metals\, is prominently displayed in the 20-metre-long Yiribana window\, which is visible to the public both night and day. \nYiribana means ’this way’ in the Sydney language and was the name given to the Art Gallery’s dedicated space for the display of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander art when it opened in November 1994. Yiribana has a rich legacy of highlighting the depth and dynamism of art practice across Indigenous Australia. \nDATE: Tuesday 21 February 2023 \nTIME: 9.30am -11.00am (approximately) \nVENUE: Art Gallery of NSW\, on Gadigal Country – North Building  Art Gallery Road The Domain\, Sydney NSW 2000. \nMEETING PLACE: The Welcome Hub in the Plaza of the new building. After cloaking at the desk outside the Gallery\, one of the Welcome Hosts will escort our group inside where we will be fitted with headsets and head off with our guide. The tour will last for approximately 1 to 1.25 hours. You are then free to explore other exhibitions at leisure. \nCOST: $32.00 \nRSVP TO:   Kay Nicholas Email: swic.artandculture@gmail.com with your name and mobile phone number. \nRSVP BY: 10 February 2023. When the event is full we will go to ‘Waitlist’.  Do not pay until your place is confirmed. We will always endeavour to get back within 24 hours.
