Project Contemporary Artspace

Our prestigious, mid-year Hire-a-Wall, Winter Walls, has taken on a new name for 2025. Autumn Leaves, bids a clever farewell to warmer months, and welcomes Wollongong to enjoy the colourful cooler months that approach.

Open to all members, this exhibition grants our local artists with the taste of a personalised mini “solo” showcase of their talent, amongst a larger amalgamation of subject medium exploration by the broader artist body. It is for these sporadic choices and unaligned themes, that the charming essence of our Hire-a-Wall member shows appear, and appeal for audience and artist alike.

For some, it is their first time entering the public eye of the artistic world, and what better way to do so than with a portfolio of examples!

Due to the outstanding artwork on display, the curators of Autumn Leaves only found it fitting to announce two recipients of Curator’s Choice for 2025.

Bjarne Jakobsen's - 'A Billabong, with the bushfires looming in the background'. Joint winner of the 2025 Curators Choice Award.

Joint recipients of the 2025 Autumn Leaves Curator’s Choice Award, Bjarne Jakobsen for 'A Billabong, with the bushfires looming in the background' and Holly Reilly for 'Peacock'

Congratulations Bjarne and Holly. We cannot wait to see what you showcase next!

Autumn Leaves is open to the public 21 May - 1 June 2025.
