Two years ago, we asked 3 artists to create work for our Portable Match Box Gallery, which we first toured to Nagoya Gardens, Hyde Park on Australia Day, 2006. Since then, more than 50 Galleries have been created, exhibiting works by 72 Australian and Japanese artists. Bring a picnic and celebrate with us in Hyde Park. Local artists who have created new series of works for Match Box Galleries will be out and about to introduce you to their work.
Hope to see you there.

Facetnate! People to People, Place to Place: Australia-Japan
As the invited recipient of the Japan Foundation’s Support Program for Emerging Artists, we opened Facetnate! - a series of 6 exhibitions by Australian emerging artists influenced by Japan in their art practice. We presented 12 Match Box Galleries exhibiting works by the 72 artists taking part in the Australia Japan Match Box Project. The above 11 Galleries evolved following conducting an action research trip through Tokyo, NSW and Nagoya travelling with the below Match Box Gallery.
