Tresillian is a vibrant community arts centre that provides recreational courses and activities for adult students.
With four term programs each year, there is a wide variety of courses on offer including arts, languages, handicrafts and wellbeing. A quarterly school holiday program for children and youth provides an opportunity to learn new skills in a fun and creative atmosphere. In 2021, we also have a range of after school art classes, for children aged 5 -17 years.
Tresillian has a regular exhibition schedule with a featured artist showing each month. In April, artists Peter Campagna and Samitha Patabendige bring us ‘Life in Matilda Bay’. Following this, Caroline Marinovich’s solo exhibition ‘Life’s Illusions’ in May and Myra Staffa’s solo exhibition in June.
We look forward to welcoming everyone to Term 2 2021 and these three wonderful exhibitions.

"I was painting and singing Joni Mitchell’s song “Both Sides Now” when asked what the title of my exhibition would be. “Life’s Illusions” suddenly came to mind.
For this exhibition, I have worked at having a personal theme and as I have painted I have realised that “Both Sides” could be interpreted in so many ways. Some days I am gripped by a colourful style and others I enjoy a more monochromatic harmony. It could relate to my more realistic side as well as my modern, conceptual side.
My pictures are “Life’s Illusions” in paint, pastel and pencil. "

Taking three concrete examples from each art movement, Professor Read illustrates the retreat from illusionistic painting, familiar to us since the Italian Renaissance. One of the dilemmas to be discussed is whether the path to abstract art is fundamentally materialistic or transcendental.
