This exhibition, mounted over 100 years since the inception of Tamworth Regional Gallery’s entire collection, and 50 years of the National Textile Collection, showcases the strengths and diversity of our holdings.
Sharing an appreciation for a minimalist philosophy, this exhibition presents the ceramic pieces created by Christine Murphy alongside the paintings by Sandra McMahon. This exhibition explores the relationship between 3 dimensional form and 2 dimensional works on board.
To celebrate the amazing artists of 50 to 100 Many Years in the Making, we invite you to write a letter to one (or more) of the artists and share the love.

Guided Tours will run Wednesdays, Saturday and Sunday, providing insight into the artistic practices and works of female artists within the Gallery collection.
