The Sunbury Gallery is presenting an exhibition on interpretations of the area’s landscape, featuring works by local artists and items from the Hume Civic Collection.
Titled ‘Light, Lines and Color: Recalling the Landscape’, the exhibition will showcase maps and imagery from the Hume Civic Collection, and local artist interpretations of Hume’s landscape and its changes over time.
Hume mayor Naim Kurt said that the exhibition will showcase some of the region’s landscape, history, heritage, and identity.
“It spans from First Nations history … to the current threats to our natural landscape and the physical and social changes of our municipal area,” Cr Kurt said.
“The artworks from Hume’s Civic Collection highlight the important role our civic collection plays in telling our community’s story. I encourage our community to visit the Sunbury gallery to explore this exhibit and reflect on the rich history of our municipality.”
According to the Victorian Collections website, the Hume Civic Collection consists of artworks, photographs, objects, photographs, and records portraying the city’s history and cultures, and incorporates the George Evans Collection – over 5500 pieces relating to Sunbury.
The Light, Lines and Color: Recalling the Landscape exhibition opened on August 1 and will run until November 3 at Sunbury Gallery at the Hume Global Learning Centre, Sunbury.
