Under the Big Blue Sky – Exhibition Launch
with Artist Talks and Kids/Family Activities
Join us for the launch of the Under the Big Blue Sky exhibition. The launch will include artist talks from artists in the exhibition and free creative activities for kids and families.
About the exhibition:
Under the Big Blue Sky features works by artists from across the country, each exploring blue in their own way and highlighting its visual, emotional, and symbolic significance.
The exhibition will transform the entire arts centre, including a dramatic installation in our Turbine Hall, over 15 artist projects in our ground-floor galleries, a display of works from the Liverpool City Council Art Collection in our Theatre Gallery, and an immersive underwater-themed installation Rainbow, Mermaid, Fireworks by Emily Crockford and Rosie Deacon originally commissioned by Bondi Pavillion, courtesy the artists and Studio A in our Upper Turbine West Gallery on Level 1.
About the free creative activities: Casula Powerhouse Arts Centre is thrilled to offer FREE creative activities for kids and families as part of our Under the Big Blue Sky exhibition launch. In our Make & Do Space on Level 1, get hands-on and recreate Dabiyil Bajara (Water Footprints) – a stunning installation featuring six large textile and cyanotype artworks by artists Sonja Carmichael and Elisa Jane Carmichael by tracing and drawing, making your own cyanotype look-alike. Then go to our Level 1 Upper Turbine West Gallery to dive into the immersive Rainbow, Mermaid, Fireworks exhibition by artists Emily Crockford and Rosie Deacon. In this magical underwater world, you can do some colouring in and try on some dress-ups inspired by the ocean’s wonders!
