THE Festival is pretty well taking over Norgrove Park in Kingston this Saturday May 10 with a family-oriented Kingston Foreshore event full of music. By happy chance, the nearby Canberra Glassworks are celebrating their seventh birthday and have suggested that families make a day of it.

‘Heat Wave,’ diptych by Robert Boynes, acrylic on canvas

Using photographic images as a form of sketchbook notation, Boynes creates a screenprint that triggers a rigorous painting process. Both shows at 81 Denison Street Deakin, Tuesday – Friday 10am to 5pm and Saturday – Sunday 9am to 5pm until May 27.
