The Queensland Committee of The Australiana Fund invite you for drinks and canapés and to view an exhibition of recent works by Cressida Campbell at Philip Bacon Galleries, Brisbane.

Guest speaker Simon Elliott, Deputy Director of QAGOMA, will talk about the work and career of this important Australian artist.

'Inspired by her surroundings, Cressida Campbell has transformed commonplace experiences from her life into woodblock paintings and unique woodcut prints for over 40 years'.

Following in the footsteps of illustrious artists such as Margaret Preston and Thea Proctor, Cressida Campbell's work is represented in a number of national and international collections.

We hope you will join us for this exclusive event at Philip Bacon Galleries, Brisbane. Tickets $75 per person.

A major survey exhibition of Campbell's work is scheduled to open in September 2022 at the National Gallery of Australia, Canberra.

Funds raised will go towards The Australiana Fund's programme of new acquisitions and maintenance of our historic and culturally significant collection of Australian artworks on loan for display and use in the four Official Residences of the Governor-General and Prime Minister of Australia.
