pARTicipate Art Workshop - Inspired by Lloyd Rees

Join TMAG's art guides for a two-hour workshop inspired by the works of Lloyd Rees from the new major exhibition Lands of Light: Lloyd Rees and Tasmania.

Rees is one of the most revered Australian landscape artists of the 20th century. Throughout his long career he was a highly original, restless and experimental artist. Inspired by Rees' capacity to transform an observed environment into a creative work of art, in this workshop you will use drawing and collage materials to create artworks from 'real to imagined'.
