ArtScene (March 6th 2001)

An essential forum for anyone beginning, or thinking about, a career in the arts, this panel discussion featured four exhibiting artists from Gettin' Lucky, each willing to share their unique experiences.

Margo Lewers: late works (1970 - 1978) (February 3rd - March 25th 2001)

An exhibition of abstract paintings, plexiglass sculptures and painted textiles executed from the early 1970s until her death in 1978.  These late works are more assured, lyrical and suggestive of her pictorial investigations of the early 1950s which explored the qualities and properties of reflected and refracted light and the use of interlocking planes of colour.


Gettin' Lucky (February 3rd - 25 March 25th 2001)

An exhibition project that aims to investigate, through contemporary visual art, the culture of luck and the purpose built leisure environment.   From the neon lit interiors of the Panthers entertainment complex - this shrine of popular culture with its pulsating dance floors, glitter and electronic sounds - is a promise of enjoyment, entertainment and fortune.  The seven artists will create work in a variety of media in response to the social and cultural concerns of 'gambling and luck'. Sponsored by Penrith Panthers
