Visitors to this year’s Lismore Show, being held from October 22 to 24, are in for a special arts treat.
Southern Cross University’s art students will be showcasing sustainable arts practices in a special exhibition as well as running public art workshops with staff from the School of Arts and Social Sciences.
Visual arts displays will include the Sustainable ArtSpace – a performance space/artists’ area using the old pie stall near the showground’s handicrafts pavilion.
Alongside an exhibition of student artworks, there will be workshops in woodblock printing on handmade paper, carving from camphor laurel, papermaking and moulding, bamboo joining techniques, as well as knitted and crocheted sculpture.
The best of art students’ site-specific installations, from their 3-D studio assessment items, will also be in situ at the Lismore Showground.
A show reel of students’ short films and animations from visual arts and media studies will be screened simultaneously to display the depth of practice coming out of the University’s programs.
The reinstallation of the much-talked-about giant horse sculpture by James Smythe (a popular addition to last year’s Lismore Show) which has been constructed out of recycled materials, will take place near the entrance to the Lismore Showground on October 1 and 2.
Many of these works will then be transported to Southern Cross University’s Lismore campus where they will be on display as part of another special event, the Festival of Teaching, in late October.

Media opportunity: This Thursday and Friday, October 1 and 2, a Southern Cross University art student, James Smythe, will be installing his very impressive giant horse sculpture at the front entrance to the Lismore Show. Media are welcome to call in to interview James and visual arts lecturer, Leonie Lane.
