Julie Fragar: Biograph is the first career survey of her work and assembles her key works made between 1998 and 2021, including some previously unexhibited pieces.
The survey is arranged according to key ongoing themes for the artist, including biography, memory, identity, and narrative and will be at Perc Tucker Regional Gallery until 12 February 2023.
Mayor Jenny Hill will officially launch the exhibit this Friday night and said she was delighted to see Julie Fragar’s famed work make its way to Townsville.
“Julie has had a stellar career and her exhibit will be a must-see for our local arts community,” Cr Hill said.
The exhibition launches at 6pm and there will be an artist and curator talk on Saturday 3 December from 10:30-11:30am.
Fragar will also hold a masterclass in composition this Saturday 3 December from 1-4pm.
