* - exhibitions and performance re-scheduled from the 2020 Artists on View program
During the COVID-19 lockdowns in 2020, we created an online exhibition as a way of sharing work and encouraging art-making.
Local artists were invited to submit a single still image – a photograph, a photograph of an artwork or a digital image and text to describe the artwork, or the idea behind it.
Over 32 weeks we collected 780 artworks by 175 artists.
These pages record that work.
