All Year Round is a collaborative exhibition by artists Sophie Corks and Carina Chambers, celebrating the changing seasons around Orange N.S.W and its surrounding landscapes.
Through their use of colour and texture, both artists explore the emotions that each distinct season elicits in their own vibrant styles.
The exhibition will be held at Byng Street Boutique Hotel, a luxury art and design hotel in the heart of Orange. Known for its commitment to celebrating Australian artists, the hotel features an extensive collection of works by local artists, making it the perfect venue for this dynamic exhibition showcasing our regional beauty. After opening night, the exhibition will be open daily to the public from 10am -2pm.
