`A Moment's Pause...`
Dromkeen’s 2025 Winter Art Exhibition
Exhibition Opening
Date: 7th June 2025
Time: 4:00 – 5:30 PM
ABOUT
What happens in that sacred moment of pausing? Senses heighten and suddenly we notice our breathing… smells, sights and sounds of the world around us… birds twittering, lichen on a branch, the smell of old photographcs, books, gum leaves, pine needles and rain… all can evoke memories of childhood, forgotten relatives, school friends and places we’ve visited. Mixed emotions of fondness, sadness and nostalgia can arise. What happens when you pause for a moment?
Local & National arists reflect on this theme in Dromkeen’s inaugural ‘Winter Art Exhibition’
June-July-August
Official Opening: – 4pm Saturday 7th June 2025.
