Congratulations Terina Vale

One of Terina’s photographs has been chosen for a current exhibition at the Museum of Art and Culture Lake Macquarie.

The exhibition, Reconnected: a recovery story is open from 4 July – 11 October.  Visitors are encouraged to vote for their favourite artist.

The exhibition aims reconnect artists and the community directly, in the physical sense, beyond the digital and distanced world they’ve inhabited over the past months. Inclusive of recent painting, sculpture, photography, video and installation, installed inside the Art Museum and out, the exhibition looks on the brighter and more positive side of life.
