Show Notes

The Orange Regional Gallery has just wound up on what could well be its biggest ever exhibition.

A sculpture exhibition, by internationally renowned artist Laurence Edwards was shown at the gallery for a couple of months and during that time no less that 8,000 people came through the doors.

The good news is that one of the bronze sculptures will stay as part of the permanent collection.

And the awareness campaign around The Voice referendum  is stepping up. When a parliamentary inquiry into the legislation made their first stop for a hearing outside Canberra, they chose Orange.

In Orange they listened to evidence and questioned a number of witnesses on how The Voice could work and what difference it could make.
