Exhibition LAND - Artists on the Land of Three Rivers
Exhibition LAND - Artists on the Land of Three Rivers

6 February to 8 March 2026

An exhibition of eight celebrated Australian artists, who examined their response to the atmosphere of place. Developed following a 2025 residency at The Corridor Project on Wiradjuri Country, the exhibition arises from direct, embodied experience: tracing geology, weather, memory and cultural histories through abstraction and material experimentation. Landscape functions not as motif but as generative methodology, informing gesture, surface and structure. Collectively, these works advance the discourse of Australian landscape painting through engaged, site-responsive practice.

Artists included David Collins, Elisabeth Cummings, Kate Dorrough, Charmaine Pike, Sally Stokes, Belinda Street, Leah Thiessen and Ana Young.

LAND – Artists on the Land of Three Rivers is curated by
Phoebe Cowdery and Cassandra Hard Lawrie.
It is presented in partnership by Cowra Regional Art Gallery and The Corridor Project.
