VINYLSCAPES NATIMUK
Shamelessly stolen (with permission) from Howie who first presented Vinylscapes at The Curious Rabbit in Wagga Wagga, Vinylscapes Natimuk is a relaxed music event where people bring vinyl records from their collection to listen to with others. Featuring guest music collectors and others, vinyl record listening parties are a great way to spend a winter’s evening with friends. If you don’t have vinyl, that’s OK, there will be a selection available if you’d like to choose a track to play. Tickets limited.
Wine, beer, and soft drinks available at the bar.

Saturday, July 12, 7pm - 10pm
A record listening bar, Nati-Style.
You don’t have to go to A tokyo or berlin Music club to listen to great vinyl.

The Art of everywhere else
About The Art of Everywhere Else
Most of us have learned some art history at school, but it’s usually focused on art from the West, and the art from ‘everywhere else’ is forgotten. “The Art of Everywhere Else” is a series of online lectures designed in the spirit of opening a door to a university lecture theatre so anyone may listen in.
The Goat Gallery is thrilled to host a series of online lecture-viewing evenings so Nati folk can watch these lectures together in the “Goat Lounge”. These lectures are presented by the one and only Associate Professor Sam Bowker, who will share many beautiful stories about art around the world, and the ways in which art can also teach us about the world we share.
Those who join us will also have the opportunity to work on the same tasks Sam’s students complete while undertaking this course if they wish.
Book a free ticket to the lecture viewing evenings here: https://events.humanitix.com/the-art-of-everywhere-else-viewing-party
Booking a ticket isn’t necessary, but helps us plan for numbers. If you can’t come to each viewing night, that’s OK too.
These live online lectures will be held on Tuesday evenings from 6-7pm, beginning on Tuesday 15 July 2025.

A Royal Subject: a portrait of the new king
King Charles III is our new King and Memorial Halls around the country are having to replace their old photos of King Charlie’s mum with his new official royal portrait.
As a part of the famous NatiFrinj Festival in November this year, we are calling for artists to submit an artwork that explores what it means to have a new King in the colonial outpost that is the Commonwealth of Australia. Whether you are a staunch republican, a devout royalist, an eternal fan of Queen Elizabeth, an anti-royalist, or completely indifferent to our British head of state, you are invited to submit your own idea of a royal portrait and what the King means to you. Is he the beginning of a new era for the royals, more gossip fodder for trashy magazines or the end of a dynasty?
Special guest judges will award the best work for display at the Natimuk Memorial Hall for 12 months while we wait for the official portrait (or to sit along side).
Guidelines for artworks
Artworks can be 2D or 3D
Artworks can be in any medium (however to be hung in the Natimuk Memorial Hall they will need to be suitable for a hanging display)
The work must be no larger than 50 cm (2D or 3D)
The work must arrive at the Goat Gallery by October 20, 2025 to be included in the exhibition
Further submission details coming soon!

KNIT YOUR REVOLT
sticking our needles to misogynistic knit-wits and extreme conservatism since 2012
Knit Your Revolt (KYR) is a network of rad crafters banding together to produce mass acts of craftivism. They aim to subvert society’s low expectations of craft and women (who are most commonly associated with the artform) to combat other crazy-arse notions that abound and create a powerful force of change towards a more equitable world.
Consciously using artforms and materials that have gendered expectations, KYR highlights many other ridiculous assumptions afoot in the world today relating to gender identity and sexual orientation and other fields of generally bizarro inequity or injustice.
