Mothers and daughters explore their shared and separate creativity in this new exhibition at Sturt Gallery. "Biogenesis" embodies the idea that all generations are connected - our behaviours and beliefs are seeds that are sown and nurtured through time. Artist Nettie Sumner has created sculptures of wire and ceramics, while her daughter Mercy Sumner uses porcelain and hand crocheted wire. Local artist Libby Hobbs creates hand woven dolls, and a lifelong love of fabrics appears to have passed to her daughter, Dimity Kidstone, who creates tapestries. Ultimately the exhibition explores whether creativity is a consequence of genomic configuration, environmental influences... or both.

Highlands Theatre Group is proud to present "12 Angry Men". What begins as an open-and-shut case of murder becomes a story that presents a succession of clues creating doubt and a drama of each of the juror’s prejudices, preconceptions about the trial, the accused and each other. 11 of the 12 jurors are quick to vote he is guilty; the remaining juror seems sceptical about the evidence and wants a thorough deliberation of the facts before sentencing, to prove the defendant’s guilt is beyond reasonable doubt. Tickets go on sale soon! Make sure to check back to the HTG site shortly.

Eclectic Sounds is bringing Deborah Conway to the Southern Highlands in July! There's not much you can say about the creative output of Deborah Conway and her partner Willy Zygier that hasn’t already been said. J-Wire reported that “Conway and Zygier seem to have enveloped an intimate, down-home, folk-blues sound that’s deeply relatable. The songs tend to wrap around you, like a favourite throw, or big, old jumper does, as you curl-up on the couch with your favourite melancholic thoughts.” Join them at the Bowral Bowling Club on Thursday, 29th of July. Tickets can be purchased via the link below.
