GreenRoom in collaboration with Adelaide Festival Centre’s Morning Melodies program presents a watercolour painting workshop with members of the Namatjira family.
GreenRoom members are invited to participate in this workshop, and bring someone along with them of an older generation (eg. Mother, Aunt, Grandfather), and together we will share art across generations – just like in the spirit of Namatjira.
Albert Namatjira is Australia’s most famous Indigenous watercolour artist. At the height of his international fame, Namatjira’s artworks sold out within minutes. His beautiful paintings graced the loungerooms of Australian suburbia and introduced the public to the exquisite beauty of our central desert heartland.
This is a very special opportunity to learn more about Namatjira’s life, art and inspiration and create your own watercolour painting. No experience necessary.
Register Now! Email thegreenroom@adelaidefestivalcentre.com.au or call 8216 8512.
The watercolour workshop is FREE for GreenRoom Members and their guest. After the workshop, participants are invited to a free artist talk in the Artspace Gallery to see the Namatjira exhibition and hear more about his work.
The workshop and exhibition coincides with Big hART’s show Namatjira – an iconic, new Australian theatrical work exploring the extraordinary life of Albert Namatjira. Showing at Her Majesty’s Theatre from 4 – 12 May. For more info click here
