We’re currently planning an exhibition to run from mid-October to February, of wedding photos through the years. We’d love folks to submit wedding photos from weddings in the district. Electronic files or prints are great; we’ll keep careful details of who owns each one so that we can make sure they are acknowledged and returned.when the display finishes.
Please contact Louise if you have photos you can lend us. You can email her at contact@adhs.org.au
New England Regional Art Museum Exhibition, ‘The College on the Hill’: A display of Armidale Teachers’ College photographs and memorabilia from the UNE Archives will complement the permanent NERAM exhibition on display in the Howard Hinton Gallery. Howard Hinton OBE donated almost 1000 original artworks to the Teachers’ College over the years 1929 – 1948 and these graced the walls of the College building. With forced amalgamation of College and University, the paintings (principally by Australian artists) were placed in storage until the community and Government funded Art Museum was built in Kentucky Street where they could once again be displayed. The beautiful permanent Hinton Gallery features around 130 works of art from the Hinton Collection. ‘The College on the Hill’ exhibition will remain open until 18th August.
