  • Hullabaloo Art Space - New Works on Show.

Discover a vibrant selection of new work from local artists at Hullabaloo, located in the Historic Precinct, Cromwell.

Our newest artist, Kirsty Mills, presents two striking works: the peace sign "Ma I Don’t Want To Go To War" and the painting "Ode to Yoko ’97", both currently on display in the gallery. These sit alongside intricate wire sculptures of birds and flowers by Debbie Neill. Gail presents her oil painting "The Land Holds Its Gold in Underground Vaults", while ceramic artist Jacque Ruston showcases a range of figures, busts, and bowls.

Also on display are Debbie McCaw’s detailed collage "Opal the Horse", Tracey Morrow’s photographic work "Vere Floret", and new bronze dancers by Barbara Dawson. Jewellery artists Carmen Burgi and Jennifer Hay have also contributed beautiful new pieces.

Hullabaloo is a collective of local artists who would love to meet you. Open daily from 10am–4pm.
