The amazing art at the NGV (Graham Ray) @ Eltham Central Pavilion

The NGV is the largest art gallery in Australia. This illustrated talk by Graham Ray, who is an erstwhile NGV Voluntary Guide, will look at a selection of works from the NGV, from different countries, and across different periods of time. The talk will reveal the richness and diversity in the collection, and also some of the less well-known intriguing stories behind these works (Which work of art was stolen from the wall of the NGV? Which well-known artist has his artistic design work on the wrapping paper of lollies available in Coles?). You will also see arguably the largest work of art in the southern hemisphere, and other fascinating art.

Book your place by emailing Pam Griffith.
