Official Opening 6:00pm Friday 7 Dec 2018

‘The inspiration for this exhibition can be attributed to the life of, and my connection to my Uncle Pat Bancroft, who died at the age of 94 in 2015. His knowledge of the country was phenomenal and it was an absolute joy and privilege to learn from him. He had no time for fools.

As an artist I have dedicated 30 years to exploring and recording my family and their history; and the weaving of my own story into that as a Bundjalung woman, mother and artist. I am in awe of this history. The fact that we have lived in the same spot since colonisation is to be admired. I have been living in Sydney since 1981 but returned back to our traditional land, at the base of the Bundjalung State Forest at the back of Grafton every year, and recently moved to live in Bundjalung country permanently.’ Bronwyn Bancroft 2018

Official Opening 6:00pm Friday 7 Dec 2018

The exhibition, BETWEEN NATURE AND SIN features a decade of past paintings, photographs, videos, and the premiere of COWBOY COUNTRY, David Griggs’ first feature film.

David Griggs explores the darker undercurrents of human existence. His work, predominantly portraiture, focuses on the human condition; drawing on political imagery, underground media, local histories and personal experience. Famous for his bold approach, Griggs exposes the raw underbelly of society. His work is often collaborative, engaging directly with communities while remaining sensitive to the ethical and moral obligations this demands. For the last 10 years Griggs has resided in the Philippines and has created a significant body of work that reveals the social hierarchies and underground culture of his adopted home. A Campbelltown Arts Centre exhibition presented nationally by Museums & Galleries of NSW. This project has been assisted by the Australian Government through the Australia Council for the Arts, its arts funding and advisory body.

Be it epilepsy or cancer or Parkinsons it is super encouraging for sufferers to meet and talk to others with similar conditions.

Topics covered at the January event include the medicinal properties of cannabis, treating cancer & other illnesses, the progress of legal access, roadside drug testing, herbal & hemp seed oil extraction methods, juicing raw cannabis and the health benefits and wonders of hemp seed as food.

Guest speaker is Leah Bisiani, Aged care & dementia specialist. Also speaking are Dr Andrew Katelaris, Dr Deb Waldron, Andrew Kavasilas, Steve Bolt, Michael Balderstone, Radic Al, The Hemp Club, S Sorrensen, Sue Higginson, Australian Cannabis University and more.

MA15+, 100 mins, Australia

A group of troubled boys are on a perilous course towards jail until they meet up with the rough talking, free-wheeling jackaroo, Bernie Shakeshaft, and hit the road with his legendary dog jumping team. This observational documentary, filmed over two years, follows boys in a youth program that Bernie runs from a shed on the outskirts of Armidale, a rural town in Australia. On the road, the boys find their voice, make great friendships and the dogs become national champions. But as the boy’s sleep under the stars at night the trauma is never too far away. With their survival and futures at stake they must constantly step up, push themselves, support each other and some days can be hard. This inspiring coming of age story reveals the challenges and triumphs these boys face as they try to find their place in the world, and the dogs that help tame their wild ways.

Drawing influence from the greater world of music, Rueben Davis has managed to create a sound which merges many a genre from reggae to hardcore; yet carries the passion of driving roots music. Since first hitting the stage in 2009, Davis's infectious and energetic live shows has seen him consistently tour the country and play alongside a huge range of artists from around the globe. Just a kid from Adelaide, Australia who loves music, partying and being surrounded by awesome people Rueben Davis rocks, in a surf roots rock kinda way. Catch him on the outdoor stage in the gorgeous gardens by the magical Mulgum Creek for an afternoon of great music. cafe open serving great food and yummy coffees and cold drinks!
