Art exhibition in Mansfield

28 MARCH 2006

One of Charles Sturt University’s key public spaces on the Bathurst Campus has been transformed into an exhibition for some of the gems of the Charles Sturt University Art Collection. More than two dozen Australian and British prints, donated to the University by Melbourne businessman Dr Douglas A. Kagi over the last few years, are now hanging in the Mansfield Building. The artworks, which were framed with the generous support of a $10 000 grant from the Charles Sturt Foundation, cover several floors of the building containing lecture theatres. The exhibition includes works by Arthur Boyd, Jamie Boyd, Graham Sutherland, Joe Tilson and Treahna Hamm. “The selection of the Mansfield Building for these key works from the 1 700-piece CSU Art Collection is significant because I wanted to choose a public space on campus which is occupied by both students and staff and flows outside onto the lawn near the library,” said CSU Art Curator Thomas Middlemost. The Mansfield Building honours Emeritus Professor Bruce Mansfield, who was involved in the development of CSU's Bathurst Campus over many years, The exhibition is open to the public.
