To Nov 23: English Rose, Australian Thorn. Inspired by Norman Lindsay's thorny relationship with England, this exhibition explores how Australian culture has transplanted, pruned or uprooted its English heritage. Besides Lindsay, featured artists include Graham Burstow, Sophie Carnell, Deborah Klein, George Lambert, Lionel Lindsay, and Zoja Trofimiuk.
