Ross Creek Gallery presents Gathering II, an exhibition featuring the latest works by the Goldfields Printmakers. This collective of artists meets several times each year to collaborate, exhibit, and share techniques. The Goldfields Printmakers was founded by Jimmy Pasakos, a Visual Arts Lecturer at Federation University Ballarat, after attending the 2011 International Print Conference, IMPACT7, at Monash University. Inspired by the event, Pasakos aimed to create a platform for printmakers in the historic Goldfields region to connect and collaborate.
The initiative officially began in 2012, with a call for artists from across Central Victoria. The first meeting took place at Jackie Gorring’s home/studio in Daylesford, where members discussed their shared goals to promote printmaking and support artistic growth. A website, www.goldfieldsprintmakers.com, was created to facilitate networking, share experiences, and foster new relationships within the artistic community, allowing for dynamic and diverse collaborations.
During this exhibition the gallery will be open Saturday and Sunday 11-4pm and by appointment outside of these days. If you would like to book an appointment please email.
Opening Saturday 12th April, 1pm - 4pm.
