Celebrating the Life and Creative Legacy of Sarah Trethowan

Violet Town's BackArt Gallery is hosting a special exhibition celebrating the life and work of local artist Sarah Trethowan.

Spanning a lifetime of creative exploration, the exhibition brings together an extraordinary collection of Sarah's work, including prints, paintings, collage, poetry and digital media. It offers a wonderful opportunity to experience the breadth of her creativity and the artistic expression she shared throughout her life.

Following Sarah's passing, her partner and much-loved local, Jack Frewin, is generously donating proceeds from artwork sales to the Sarah Trethowan Trust, managed by VAMP (Violet Town Arts, Music and Performance).

The Trust will support local artists and creative events, helping to nurture opportunities for artistic expression and ensure the creative life of our community continues to flourish.

It is a beautiful way for Sarah's legacy to live on, with her work helping to create opportunities for other artists and contribute to the community she called home.

We invite you to visit BackArt, spend some time with Sarah's work and join us in celebrating her remarkable creative life.
