Antarctic Futures emerges from two paths of lllawarra based association with the Antarctic – one academic and the other artistic.
Opening during National Science Week, this diverse exhibition includes work by artists and scientists who have visited Antarctica, either under the auspices of national level scientific and artist residency programs or via the former Illawarra based Theme Polar Arts program. It includes work by artists such as Brogan Bunt, Janet Laurence, Ashley Frost, Bettina Kaiser, Liz Jeneid, Rob Howe, Trudi Voorwinden and Mary Rosengren as well as work by Antarctic scientists Mel Waterman, Georgia Watson and Alison Haynes. Also included in the exhibition is the work produced by local Illawarra children participating in the Early Start Antarctic early learning workshops. This work will gradually grow as the exhibition proceeds.
The exhibition will be held each Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday from 10am to 4pm (Thursday and Friday opening is by prior appointment only)
