123 Create
Devonport Regional Gallery’s popular monthly arts education program for children aged 1–3 years and their parents welcomes Gareth Taylor to the role of facilitator. 1, 2, 3 Create uses music, art and sensory play to create a fun, educational program for children aged 1–3 years with their carers and parents. The program provides a stimulating environment in the gallery setting for young children to socialise and connect with art objects and ideas through music, movement, play and art making.
The facilitator tailors each session around the themes and contents of the exhibitions on display, and encourages parents and their children to engage with the works in the Gallery.
New facilitator, Gareth Taylor, brings a wealth of music and education skills to the program, having extensive experience as a teacher of music and performing arts to children of all ages and those with a disability.
Gareth recently relocated to Devonport from Melbourne. He holds a Bachelor of Music from the Australian Institute of Music, Sydney, and a Master of Teaching from Western Sydney University.

In Conversation with the Artist: Lisa Garland (for students)
North-West-based 2016 Solo Commission artist, Lisa Garland, will present a special educational talk for secondary and tertiary students at the Devonport Regional Gallery on Thursday 1 September, 2.30 pm.
Lisa Garland has produced an extraordinary series of black and white photographs and video work for this commission which primarily focus on a selection of subjects in the Devonport region.
Working with a large format film camera Garland creates moody black and white photographs. On entering the exhibition viewers will become involved in a strange world of observations where the photographed subjects look out as we the viewer ‘look in’ at the subject within their domestic spaces. Garland views her subjects with reverence – she listens to their stories, empathises with them and photographs them in a way that captivates the viewer – we can almost ‘hear’ their stories.
In this educational artist talk, Garland will be discussing her influences and techniques which inspire her work, and is a must for any student practicing photography and/or portraiture.
Lisa Garland’s Solo Commission exhibition opens Friday 12 August, 6 pm and is on display until Sunday 25 September.
