An excerpt from our most recent newsletter coverin

An excerpt from our most recent newsletter covering Hal Pratt and Ashley Frost’s exhibition Terra Motion.

This stunning joint exhibition was opened by CSA president David Roach. He paid tribute to Frost and Pratt and to all artists, “..they introduce us to aspects of the world we thought we knew.” He went on to say that artists often take a vulnerable path. “They make something deeply personal and present it to the world with an open heart. Not everyone is that fearless.”

The exhibition was a great success with many works sold. Come back this Friday 12 at 6pm to see the Fowlers Gap 2025 tour exhibition organised by @ash___frost.

OPENING TONIGHT

Clifton School of Arts is proud to present Terra Motion, a joint exhibitioby Ashley Frost and Hal Pratt, Thursday 28 August and running through Sunday 7 September 2025.

“Inspired by the Wodi Wodi Track, named after the original custodians of the Illawarra, this escarpment features the Sydney Basin’s most extensive rainforest and provides a vital refuge for wildlife. Rising 500 metres above Thirroul, it spans 200 million years of geological history, offering both dramatic beauty and a deep sense of place.”
