I'm hearing great things from friends who've been. I confess I haven't made it there yet. Missed the opening last night.

During February 2009, the art of 18 Roomies artists and their mentors will be on display at the Fountain Court Gallery, Parliament House, Sydney.

For the first time, work by 18 Roomies’ artists will be shown alongside their mentors. Over one hundred artworks are on display including drawings, paintings, prints, ceramics and textiles. Artists have also shared written statements about their experience with Roomies Artspace.

Roomies Artspace is a community non-profit studio where boarding house residents and artists with a disability have the opportunity to attend workshops, work individually or with a volunteer mentor to develop as a practicing artist in a safe supported environment.
