Matt Byrne to visit Burra Gallery

Theatre entrepreneur and arts journalist Matt Byrne will introduce the premiere performance of Play Rites at 3pm and open Collaborations at 5.30pm on Saturday August 3 at the Burra Regional Art Gallery.
Collaborations
Burra Regional Art Gallery’s upcoming SALA exhibition Collaborations is a brain-pooling exercise – an artistic adventure where artists work and share creatively. It has proved risky, challenging and lots of fun. The theme of the exhibition is ‘working together, and making connections within and between communities’.
A feature of the exhibition is the exciting ways artists have collaborated – there is the huge junk sculpture made of car tyres from the Terowie Mens Shed, a small but fully fledged exhibition by Julie Hayes and Maxine Donald, a mosaic chair by Kristin Wohlers and Kate Jenkins and a contemporary tutu by Oluwole Oginni and Louise Gerard.
Collaborations will be opened after the premiere performance of Play Rites written by Burra’s Cherie L. Kelly.
Play Rites
Play Rites is about two women writing a play together with hilariously funny interactions between the two of them in the process.
