Art Matters #35 - Artists Nat Wijeyeratne and Barry Spencer
Intro Track: Paprika Pony, Kim Gordon, No Home Record, 2019

Today on Art Matters, I had these two ledges in the studio to help me reflect on the year that was and chat about some things we attended, tried, learnt, failed at (will rework)  as well as a whole lot of plans to make, things to go see over the summer, adventures to be had!
Things from major blockbusters at NGV (like Westwood | Kawakubo) and immersive experiences at THE LUME or a hidden away gem of an exhibition at the State Library of Victoria - to unique regional gems like Ballarat Art Galleries textile focus or the Mornington Regional Art Galleries current show Unfolded, plus all the stops in between – catch something local in Ringwood at Realm Artspace or around the corner at Burrinja Cultural Centre or The Hut Gallery.
There is so much to see and experience around Victoria. Get out there and get yourself some art and we'll check in with you all in 2026!!
