Banana Shire Regional Art Gallery Presents The Ruby Campbell Exhibition
Banana Shire Regional Art Gallery will open the Ruby Campbell, Daughter of the Callide Valley exhibition on Friday 16th December which will run through to the 13th January 2023. The exhibition is a retrospective that explores the life and artistic career of Ruby Campbell, one of Central Queensland’s most prolific artists.
The exhibition covers the breadth of Ruby’s artistic career, accompanied by artworks from her influences and contemporaries, Walter Pasley, John Shirlow and Lionel Lindsay.
Through her mastery of observational drawing, watercolour, printmaking and furniture design, Ruby’s works are rich with references to the land and animals that framed her life at Kilburnie Homestead.
“We are proud to feature this exhibition which is very close to the hearts of many locals in Banana Shire,” said Mayor Nev Ferrier. “This exhibition can give visitors to the Gallery the opportunity to get a glimpse of our history through the eyes of this renowned artist,” he added.
Drawing from Biloela’s historical storytellers and the collections of the Banana Shire, Greycliffe and Kilburnie Homestead, Ruby Campbell, Daughter of the Callide Valley celebrates both the hardships and beauty in the isolation of rural pioneering life.
The Ruby Campbell exhibition will open on Friday 16th December and run to 13th January 2023. Opening night will take place on Friday 16th December at 6.00pm. Entry is free with light refreshments served. To RSVP go to: RSVP at https://www.trybooking.com/CEGIP
