National Works on Paper Artist talks

Join us for a series of artist talks with National Works on Paper finalists and acting MPRG Curator, Leah Ferguson. Each 20-minute discussions will provide a fascinating insight into the creative practices and thematic explorations of these dynamic contemporary Australian artists.

Our Melbourne based speakers include Briony Galligan, collaborative drawing and performance artist, abstract artist Emily Ferretti and Gail Hastings, who’s practice is informed by 1960s minimalism. We will also hear from Adelaide-based and First Nations artist Nici Cumpston OAM, Gippsland based paper artist Mandy Gunn and the 2020 NWOP winner Annika Romeyn, from Canberra.
