Frances Feasey | Good Night Sun
From the 17th of May 2024
This series of paintings depicts Frances Feasey’s love of the local bush sunset. The sunset is historically seen as quintessentially Australian. In 1904 the artist Hans Heysen once said, “We are a people of sunshine and shadow.” With the use of bright colours and expressive brushstrokes these paintings imbue the essence of what makes a sunset so evocative. This is a subject that most viewers can enjoy collectively and relate to from their own memories of memorably sunsets.

Changemakers: Crafting a difference is an exhibition and workshop first created to coincide with the United Nations’ 16 Days of Activism Against Gender-Based Violence.
Featuring banners created by Tal Fitzpatrick using mostly upcycled materials, it invites visitors to join in some craftivism and learn more about how various initiatives, including action for economic empowerment, can serve to reduce or prevent violence against women.
Changemakers: Crafting a difference is a travelling exhibition from the Museum of Australian Democracy at Old Parliament House, sponsored by Commonwealth Bank as part of CommBank Next Chapter, a program helping victim survivors of financial abuse achieve long-term financial independence.
