Sleep my horse…5 August 1956 | Noel McKenna, the autobiographical exhibition at Maitland Regional Art Gallery features work by McKenna alongside treasures and poetry from the artist’s collection. McKenna notes that “this is a contemplation of things that have come about, or have not come about or what may come about or what may never come about”.

Noel McKenna‘s work also appears in A Line A Web A World at Powerhouse Museum. The exhibition features 230 drawings from across the world and ends on the 31 December 2023.

In addition, McKenna’s work will feature in the upcoming exhibition Halfway at Yarrila Arts and Museum, Coffs Harbour. “Halfway explores the duality of Coffs Harbour as a place and non-place – a highway town about to be bypassed, where the highway dominates the city’s rhythms and motels, service stations, ‘Big Things’ and tourism places prevail.” text courtesy of Yarrila Arts and Museum.
