‘Solidarity in Solitude’ by Artists of the Round Yard

10 Apr 2027 ‐

16 May 2027

10:00 am ‐ 4:00 pm

Free

An exhibition with a difference including new works, works in progress and sources of inspiration from the 13 diverse artists of the 'Artists of the Round Yard' collective.

Over the summer, artists often “play” and experiment in the studio, connect with family and friends and travel and respond to new places and experiences.

‘Solidarity in Solitude’ is an immersive, ‘self-curated’ exhibition, that gives each individual artist the scope to plan and work to their own themes and show artworks that reflect their unique ideas and creative processes.

Artists will present current new work as well as inspirational material in other media such as photos, drawings and studies and possibly one or two formative works from their archives.

All artworks will be for sale. A percentage of all sales goes towards supporting the work of the National Trust (NSW).

Make a day of it

For visitors wanting to make a day of it, book a guided tour of the house to hear the fascinating stories of James Fairfax’s impressive art and furniture collection and stop into Hearth by Moonacres café for lunch and refreshments. The Southern Highlands Regional Gallery Ngununggula and Bowral Honey Farm are also located within the grounds.
