This lecture aims to bring clarity to how Jazz came to be. Through time, starting from the late 16th century all the way to today.

Rabbit In the Moon : an exhibition of works by Jara Gillick-Lewis

Exhibition launch: Thursday May 6th, 6 – 7pm. Live music and light refreshments provided. All welcome!

Jara is a local visual artist working with a diverse range of mediums including illustration, ink, water colour and spray paint. Her illustrations of the natural world celebrate the inextricable complexity and simplicity inherent in nature. The splashes of colour and stains throughout her work represent the fluidity of nature itself and our perceptions. She has facilitated many large-scale street art projects with disengaged youth as part of various community-based initiatives over the last ten years. With a deep respect for art and its power to transform others she is always using it as a catalyst for positive change.
