Sophie Tea Art

London's hottest new artist Sophie Tea breaks away from her former Instagram sales and launches her very first solo gallery in Manly. Housing a collection of nudes, hearts and abstracts, Sophie doubles the space as a working studio also. Visitors can be lucky enough to watch the trendy artist in action as she divides her time between the Sydney shop and her London studio.

Sophie is an amazing artist, her passion shows in her work and the attention to detail with her shop is unreal! I have followed her on IG for a long time and am desperate to visit her shop, will definitely be going as soon as I can!

Penrith Regional Gallery

Reviewed By jojoj899 - Sydney, Australia

Not only is this a great little art gallery but the adjoining cafe is superb. Beautiful food al fresco. For the cooler weather there are gas heaters under shelter for the warmer weather, glorious sunshine and beautiful gardens. Book a table or take a blanket and sit on the lawns. Food is amazing. Make sure you get a size of Trunkey Creek chorizo...hands down the best chorizo in Australia! Licensed and serves great organic wine also. After a great meal enjoy the art gallery, always a new exhibition. Just a beautiful place opposite the glorious Nepean River, take a leisurely stroll afterwards and take in nature’s picturesque art works to walk off your meal. Win win!

Campbelltown Arts Centre

Reviewed By janedQ4560NM - Camden, Australia

If your in the area take some time to drop by. Entry is free. Open till pm Monday to Friday and also Saturday morning, however check out the weekend opening hours on their website as times can vary. The art shows rotate so there is always something new to see. There is a small gift shop stocked with a small amount of local items and also a wider collection of art books. There is a cafe on site that serves snacks and meals and is very reasonably priced. The cafe has indoor and outdoor seating. There is a Japanese Garden and a lovely little pond filled with Carp of all shapes and colours including dazzling golds. They will come toward you if they think you have food. Plenty of birds and small lizards make this garden home and often the local Australian Mynas (birds) will drop by your table looking for a treat. If that isn't enough there is also a sculpture garden.

Mosman Art Gallery

Reviewed By coleman22 - Sydney, Australia

This exhibition is being held on the beautiful headland at Julian Ashton School Hut 17 Headland Park Middle Head Rd Mosman by the Mosman Art Society associated with the Mosman Art Gallery.It is in the tradition of the Heidelberg’s School of Artists Arthur Streeton, Fred McCubbin and Tom Roberts who painted in this area at Curlew Camp at Sirius Cove in the late 19th century. It has been preserved in its natural state and can be visited via the foreshore. They used discarded cigar box lids in the 9x5 and 9x7 inch size for economy.The exhibition has a lovely variety of works from the local area in various media plus stilllife and portraiture all at very affordable prices because they are in the small size. The headland is also fascinating to explore with a rich military history of strategically placed guns, underground tunnels and barracks with spectacular views to Manly, Vaucluse and Sydney Heads. After visiting the exhibition you can drop in for a sumptuous morning or afternoon tea at the Burnt Orange Cafe nearby or bring your own picnic and enjoy the gorgeous view in the grounds. The exhibition runs every day from 13-28 April 10am-4pm
