We pay our respects to the Gundungurra people who are the traditional custodians of the land, whose deepening connection to culture and customs have cared for this country for over 60,000 years.
We acknowledge Elders past, present and emerging for their immense spiritual connection to place which was never ceded.

"Tender" is a term often associated with notions of care and femininity. We liken tenderness to the body, our gestures, and the way we feel or express ourselves. We impart the term on places, objects or surfaces to describe how they arouse our senses or how an object yields under pressure; it softens, loses shape, and gives way.
This term has rich and varied meanings, and the aim of this exhibition, which takes Tender as its title, is to explore its significance beyond a gender lens. Instead, the exhibition seeks to understand how tenderness is woven into the human form and its integration into all aspects of lived experience through the diverse painting practices of Australian artists Sally Anderson, Sarah Drinan, Laura Jones, India Mark, Dionisia Salas, Julia Trybala and Amber Wallis.
Tender continues our commitment to showcasing the practices of Australian female artists, an initiative funded by the Artist’s Circle Patron Program.
We are delighted to invite you and your guests to the opening of TENDER soon. An Eventbrite Link will be sent with our invitation. All are welcome. To receive an invitation, add yourself to our mailing list. Scroll to the bottom of the page and enter your name and email.
The Tender exhibition is supported by the NSW Government through Create NSW
