ARTIST’S TALK

Mixed media artist Kara Day talks to Gallery Director Tracey Heathwood about her latest exhibition, Ladylike – a major body of new work and her first solo show in Artspace Mackay’s Foundation Gallery. Ladylike sees Day working across textile, sculpture and watercolour to interrogate feminine stereotypes. She creates bold portraits that confront the viewer and prompt consideration of societal typecasts of womanhood and femininity.

5:30pm Thursday 12 October

Foundation Gallery, Artspace Mackay, Gordon St

This event is FREE to attend.
