Midland Junction Arts Centre

We are excited to announce that we have received multi-year funding through the State Government’s Arts Organisation Investment Program. It’s an amazing recognition of the work we have done over the past 43 years and marks the beginning of our next chapter here at MAC Inc. The investment of $1.12m over four years (starting Jan 2024) will allow us to further build on our programming across both Mundaring and Midland Junction Arts Centres. Keep your eyes and ears peeled for updates as you can expect plenty of more great news to come.

A sense of place is integral to all aspects of our lives and throughout June, four artists share their explorations of capturing these impressions through print-making, mixed media, oils and charcoal.

In Gallery 1, Genius Loci, Spirit of Place printmakers Shelley Cowper, Elmari Steyn and Haya Hagit Cohen all call WA home, but have each traversed differing paths across the globe to arrive and settle. Insight from their journeys has informed and inspired their practice of curiosity about the connections we make to the places we move through, leave behind and inhabit.

For them, the meaning of ‘place’ is a complex combination of spiritual ties that lie between spaces, sensations and emotions where the heart and mind work together to register memory, longing and belonging.

In Gallery 2, Into the Gully artist Barbara Gell’s works capture the feelings and impression of being in Whistlepipe gully in the Kalamunda hills - a sense of the place rather than representations of a particular view. The concept for each work is based in the geometrical structure and division of space on the picture plane. Working in residence on Saturdays 10, 24 June and 8 July, 11am - 3pm come and witness Gell’s creative process firsthand and gain a unique insight into her practice, discovering the inspiration behind her exhibition.

Genius Loci, Spirit of Place and Into the Gully are on display until 16 July 2023
