Casula Powerhouse Arts Centre (CPAC, Liverpool, Sydney) is throwing itself a 21st birthday, with a group exhibition the icing on its birthday cake. The Western Sydney artistic hub has invited 21 contemporary artists – both promising local emerging artists, and highly respected Australian artists who have shown at CPAC during its formative years – to present new and existing works. ’21’ reflects on the great careers of these artists as well as looking toward the future of the arts in Western Sydney.
Exhibiting artists include: Gordon Bennett, Vivienne Burns, Daniel Boyd, David Capra, Peter Cooley, Rosie Deacon, Christine Dean, Mikala Dwyer, Fiona Foley, Franck Gohier, Claire Healy and Sean Cordeiro, Deborah Kelly, Richard Larter, Dani Marti, Angelica Mesiti, Ramesh Mario Nithiyendran, Raquel Ormella, Khaled Sabsabi, Gina Sinozich, Savanhdary Vongpoothorn and Judy Watson.
Casula Powerhouse Arts Centre Director, Kiersten Fishburn says, “As the principal artistic centre for South West Sydney, Casula Powerhouse is committed to presenting the best contemporary arts practice within the context of the cultural diversity of our region. It is wonderful to welcome back so many of the artists that exhibited here early in their careers, many involved from the very beginning. Casula Powerhouse draws on the strengths of its community to make work that speaks to people everywhere and over 21 years we are proud to be a key player in the vibrant artistic scene in Western Sydney.”
