Two photography exhibitions will be featured in the rustic atmosphere of The Carrington in Peak Hill this summer.

Arts Out West's travelling photography exhibition 'Behind the Lens' will be exhibited alongside a local exhibition 'Peak in Focus'.

'Behind the Lens' features 10 Media Associate's personal photo collections and will be on exhibition for two weeks in the Carrington.

The exhibition was previously on display in Forbes and Bathurst.

'Peak in Focus' will feature local photographers from Peak Hill and will be on exhibition until February 5, 2025.

You can expect to see the works of local photographers including Cliff George, Dave Laming, Ruth Simmons, Annette and Ellie Parker, Marg Edwards, Judi Unger, Nathan Leach, Betty Zdan, Julie Westcott and Elizabeth Luke.

The exhibitions have been coordinated with photographer, Peak Hill local and Arts OutWest Media Associate, Judi Unger.

“A Big Thanks to Arts OutWest for bringing the ‘Behind the Lens’ to the Peak Hill Carrington to share this exhibition and to help promote the Carrington as an exhibition venue. Also, thanks to our local photographers for taking part in the ‘Peak in Focus’ exhibition to help support and promote Arts OutWest, our town and the Carrington,” Judi Unger said.

"The committee is really excited about hosting this photography exhibition and also working in collaboration with Arts OutsWest. It is really exciting because it will promote The Carrington as a space for any type of cultural or creative activity."

The opening launch for this exhibition will be held on Wednesday, December 4 at 5pm and will run until Wednesday, February 5, 2025.

Entry is $10 on opening night and then entry will be free for the rest of the exhibition.

A fundraising raffle will be held in conjunction of the launch with the winner receiving one nights accommodation for two people at The Buchanan.

Kindly donated by Stephen Lindsay, The Buchanan is a grand Victorian style mansion Airbnb located in Parkes.

A lucky door prize will also be running for the entirety of the exhibition with the lucky winner receiving a glass mosaic Picasso hand made and designed by Susan Maddison.

To run the exhibition the Carrington has been lucky enough to receive generous sponsorship from Alkane Resources Ltd who also support the Peak Hill Community Hub.

The Carrington will be open every weekend from 10am to 4pm during the exhibition and other selected weekdays which are yet to be confirmed.
