The Donnelly Verandah Residencies provide an opportunity for artists to immerse themselves in the unique Karri Forest at Donnelly River Village, where imposing old-growth Karri stands dominate a 1950s mill town.
This group exhibition of new works by the six 2025 residents reflects the research and material explorations undertaken during their recent residency.
