Exploding with colour and featuring joyful animals and shapes, artworks by local artists have found a new home in the office of Mayor of the City of Wagga Wagga, Councillor Dallas Tout.
The collection of artworks will temporarily brighten up the Mayor’s office while they are on short-term loan from The Art Factory Supported Studio,
Based at the Riverina Community College, The Art Factory provides professional support for the development of artists with disability through guidance, mentoring, networking and career progression.
Mayor Cr Dallas Tout met with the artists, whose works are now on display in his office, during his visit to The Art Factory studio space.
“This is the second time Council has loaned artworks from The Art Factory, and it’s always an exciting day in the office when the new works arrive,” Cr Tout said.
“We rotate the works on display every few months. It is a constant talking point when people visit the office and is a great opportunity for a wider group to appreciate local artists.”
This time around, the mayor has chosen an assortment of mediums to display in his office, ranging from works on canvas and ceramics to mixed media, and paper lanterns.
“Showcasing these works also allows more people to learn about The Art Factory and the amazing work they are doing to provide a supportive space for artists with disability. The studio helps artists develop a visual language and progress their art profession.”
