At the awards ceremony in Sydney on Saturday the 17th, Black & White: Selections From the Thomas Dick Collection was recognized as the finest exhibition for 2009 curated by an organisation with six paid staff or less at the 2009 IMAGinE awards.
Gallery and museum representatives from across NSW and the ACT converged on the Australian National Maritime Museum in Darling Harbour for the presentation.

This Sunday at 2:00 p.m., Port Macquarie locals and visitors can get an up-close and personal account of the work that went into creating the Local Narratives: Dislocate, Locate, Relocate exhibition.
Four local artists whose work is displayed in the exhibition—Sue Bell, Juan Cosgoyan, Jenny Hooper and Nicole Osborn—will participate in an engaging and informative discussion with Glasshouse Gallery Curator Niomi Sands, who has been involved in the project since day one. The Local Narratives exhibition was developed over a two-year period and incorporated three workshop sessions that were arranged by the Glasshouse Regional Gallery.
“This Arts Chat will give an insight into how the artists created their works,” says Sands. “It will be an informal conversation that will explore the development of the exhibition and provide a deeper understanding of the artists’ practices.”
