TarraWarra Museum of Art Curator, Anthony Fitzpatrick, will be on hand to answer all of your questions about the Museum, our collection and anything in between.
Have you ever wanted to know more about the artworks in our collection? Are you curious about the role of a curator and how they decide what to display? Want to find out what Anthony’s been up to during lockdown?
