Trash by Liz Pike is on exhibition at Onwards Studio at Hamilton North on Saturday only from 10am to 4pm. A curious contemporary take on the still-life painting genre that cleverly pokes fun at this tradition while commenting on modern-day society. Newcastle graphic designer, Sean Bell is exhibiting his first solo art exhibition at Left Hand Space in Islington until October 5. While travelling throughout Europe for the past 12 months, Bell has been developing these highly abstract and minimalistic forms from the scenery around him. Now armed with his own visual aesthetic, he has produced his first series of works Made to Stray. Bell is also donating 5 per cent of all sales from this exhibition to Reach Newcastle. Visit Make Space at The Station Newcastle for the first weekend of the curated exhibition by Make Space resident artist Suz Bailey. Stance includes paintings, sculptures, assemblages and photography that celebrate the awe-inspiring surf-culture that Novocastrians know so well. Hours 10am to 4pm. This is Not Art festival will officially launch at Watt Space Gallery on Thursday, October 3, from 5pm. thisisnotart.org
