Raymond Arnold artist talk

Arnold has traveled and exhibited extensively and undertaken numerous artist-in-residence programs in France and currently lives in the Tasmanian mining town of Queenstown. Here, he has established the ‘wilderness’ art space known as Landscape Art Research Queenstown.

Join Raymond for this free artist-led floor talk on the closing day of his exhibition.
