anguscomyns solo exhibition @ Soju Girl
Local artist anguscomyns will be showing his unique style with a solo exhibition @ Soju Girl from May 2 until June 29. Here is a bit about Angus. What I love doing is producing artwork for people and knowing that when they look at the piece they go... "s#$t, that's pretty cool!" I use colour, drama and comical features to create an individual identity for each piece that I design. I feel that creating a connection between the artwork and the owner is vital. Each piece is different and unique. There are no copies or reprints. That gives the individual pieces their unique personality and energy. I love nothing more than converting a blank wall into a splash of colour. For more info check out his Website

As the saying goes, a year is a long time in politics! Behind the Lines 2012 looks back on the highs and lows of the political year through the eyes of Australia’s best cartoonists.

There is a small admission fee of $2 for adults, $1 for children and concessions and $5 fo families. The exhibition is open everyday. For more info Click Here
The Dream of a Century: the Griffins in Australia’s Capital @ National Library of Australia
Many hands have shaped Australia’s national capital but none more so than Canberra’s original designers, Walter Burley Griffin and Marion Mahony Griffin. The couple’s winning entry for the design of a new capital took them from their native Chicago to Australia in 1914. They made their home in Australia for the next 20 years. The Dream of a Century focuses on the Griffins’ design enterprise in Canberra and showcases material from the couple’s practice in the United States, Australia and India, most of which has never before been displayed. The exhibition will be open daily, between 10:00 AM - 5:00 PM. Entry is free. For more info Click Here

Musing Botanical by Jennifer Freebody @ Watson Arts Centre
Observing the cornucopia of flowers and fruits that bloom and ripen through the changing seasons in Canberra was what initially inspired artist Jennifer Freebody to start painting this new collection of works. Bold, sometimes lyrical, botanical images that float or race across canvases. Let yourself be led on a journey in and out, over and under, and looping back to another point, following a thread that leads you down steps to yet another level of contemplation. Join us for this truly unique exhibition. From 5.30pm everyday.

Recap: Katie Noonan @ The Abbey
by James van Leeuwen
Katie Noonan has proven herself to be an able songstress over the past decade. Voted as one of Australia’s top 20 singers of all time by iconic peers such as Kate Ceberano and Michael Paynter last week, it is her versatility that puts her at the pinnacle of the countries music scene. Being equal parts pop, to vocalize jazz, the Elixir and George star promised to pull out all stops with a night of hits focused around the new album Songbook.
