Books + Art is the Gallery’s monthly reading group celebrating art and literature!
Books are selected by members and based on the exhibitions displayed at the Devonport Regional Gallery. The informal monthly meetings discuss the chosen book alongside the exhibition, providing an open and friendly environment. Meetings are accompanied by wine and cheese, and new members are always welcome.
One of the advantages of joining the Friends of the Gallery is that the membership of Books + Art reading group is included in the membership fee.
One more session is planned for 2018 on 12 November, 6.00pm.
Book Title:Wicked But Virtuous: My Life by Mirka Mora
Books can be purchased at Devonport Bookshop 83 Rooke St Mall. Books + Art members receive a 10% discount on purchases.
The gallery has been closed for the month of October as we have packed up at Stewart Street and made the move over to our new space at the paranaple arts centre on Rooke Street.
The new arts precinct will include our Gallery with three exhibition spaces – Main Gallery, Upper Gallery, and The Little Gallery – as well as theTown Hall Theatre and Devonport Visitor Services.
The new gallery spaces will open with the launch of two exhibitions on the evening of Friday 2 November, tidal.18 and In Your Words, The Robinson Project.
paranaple, the traditional Punnilerpanner name for the mouth of the Mersey River as it flows through Devonport to Bass Strait, has been chosen as the overarching title of the facilities within this precinct
