'Heal Country' with Monica Bridge

Goulburn Regional Art Gallery is the region's hub for presenting, exhibiting and collecting contemporary art. Our program is big, bold and full of ideas that will provoke conversation and connection to the work of the artists we work with.Our events are welcoming and fun, and practical classes are focused on learning rather than perfection.

Goulburn Regional Art Gallery

Create a painting with proud Muruwari woman and artist Monica Bridge on this year's NAIDOC theme 'Heal Country'.

School Holiday Workshop for children 6 years and older.Monica Bridge works in the disciplines of painting, drawing and sculpture to reflect her connection with culture and country. Her work explores the themes of country and people; displaying the importance of our waterways, plants, animals, and insects, and the different emotions that people feel.Monica will begin the workshop with a discussion about this year’s NAIDOC theme, asking the question “what does ‘Heal Country’ mean to you?&quot; The discussion will include the importance of our native plants and animals, Aboriginal Totem’s, and some traditional plant use by Aboriginal people. A short story ‘What is a Totem’ will be shared, along with some images of Monica&#x27;s paintings. Following this discussion, participants are invited to paint their own Totem animal or plant onto their individual round canvas. As participants paint, Monica will discuss some of her painting techniques, including the use of Aboriginal symbols and dots, which participants will have the opportunity to experiment with in their art.
