Summer Salon (Part One): 13th – 23rd December In its 2nd year, the annual Michael Reid Northern Beaches ‘Summer Salon’ is upon us! A time to put aside formality, and to genuinely celebrate the joy of art and artists. This year, the Summer Salon will be staged in 3 parts evolving over December and January. It is a time when Annual Leave is taken, and beaches are visited – it is our hope that visitors from right across Sydney (and globally via the website) will engage with and enjoy our gallery space in the beautiful suburb of Newport, a stone’s throw from the beach. With 13 painters and 3 ceramicists, the line-up is diverse, working across genres and mediums – with a particular emphasis on still life and landscape. As always, we celebrate the practices of diverse Australian ceramic artists as part of our Clay program. Across the 3 parts you can look forward to strong work from the following artists: Alix Hunter – Ben Waters – Cosima Scales – Ella Holmes – Fiona Andrews Kostidis – Jane McKenzie – Joanna Gambotto – Kristy Hussey – Lauren Jones – Naoko Rodgers – Nicola Woodcock – Nicole Nelius – Peta Dzubiel – Pia Murphy – Sally Browne – Suzie Riley
