TOKYO ▪ NEW YORK ▪ MILDURA

I am so proud to announce that my home town Mildura has a very special exhibition opening tonight. Coming straight from the most famous photography gallery in the world ‘Aperture Gallery’ in New York, Mildura Curator Kristian Haggblom, of Wallflower Photomedia Gallery, is to be congratulated for bringing this marvellous exhibition to Australia.

Lost & Found is a profoundly moving exhibition of collected photographs recovered from the devastation following the earthquake, tsunami and subsequent nuclear catastrophe that took place in the Tohoku region in Japan. The exhibition aims to raise funds for the many still in need after the disastrous events that followed the magnitude 9.0 earthquake in 2011.

If you are in Mildura anytime in the next month make sure to drop in to Wallflower at 41 Deakin Ave, Mildura’s art precinct. The exhibition runs until September 5.00 and the gallery is open Monday to Friday from 9.00 to 5.00pm and from 12.00-4.00 on Saturdays. Wallflower Photomedia Gallery is a new initiative of Arts Mildura a community run not for profit organisation that organises five fantastic arts Festivals in Mildura every year.

Thanks to those that joined me at the opening and sampled some boutique beer from Mildura Brewery and fine wines from our local Chalmers Winery, both proud sponsors of Arts Mildura.
