Well, after all those tantalising glimpses of Greece, it’s back to reality…and the reality is we’re moving out of our fabulous Darwin studio at the end of the month!
Here’s what it looked like on the way in, 5 years ago. The larger equipment just fitted through the office window, so we hope it all works as smoothly in reverse. Part of BHE will reside in a storage container for a few months while our purpose-built facility in Alice Springs is completed. We’ll move in as tenants of the exciting Hele St arts complex as soon as we can, but in the meantime, Basil will set up his home studio in NSW and get a bit of overdue printing done while he’s down south. It is really sad to be leaving the Top End, but we hope we’ll still be able to continue our work in a number of communities here in addition to now being so much closer for the central Australian art centres.
