Arts and culture have no geopolitical boundaries so it is possibly one of the best ways to foster understanding between people.
The pandemic has for a short space of time, taken us away from our ability to appreciate some of the art that exists in our community.
It is with that thought, Shepparton Art Museum (SAM) was delighted to be reopening to the public on Friday 5 June. Strictly adhering to guidelines around social distancing within public spaces, SAM will again become a place where locals can visit, engage, and be inspired, safely.
‘Whilst our doors were physically shut, we worked hard to continue to provide inspiration and connection within our community,” says SAM Director Dr Rebecca Coates. “We significantly grew our collection of online resources suitable for all ages, and honoured many of our artist commitments through virtual workshops, educational tutorials and online tours,” explains Dr Coates.
It is hoped that the reopening of the galleries will bring some much needed inspiration and enjoyment to the Greater Shepparton community. A number of exhibitions are on display over the coming months. For more information, look at SAM’s website sheppartonartmuseum.com.au
