Margaret Whitlam, one of Bondi Public School’s most esteemed former pupils, is returning to her alma mater to officially open the Artist in Residence (AIR) studio and an exhibition of work which has flowed from it.
Margaret, who attended the Wellington Street landmark between the years 1925-30, will have the classroom turned studio named in her honour. She will also launch a collection of work from Caroline Rothwell, the first artist in the program, and some of the art she has produced in collaboration with the children.
“It’s been a wonderful experience to collaborate with the community of the primary school and see what an extraordinary and complex job the education of kids is” said Caroline.
“Contemporary art is all about reflecting the world that exists around you and I think the kids are enjoying the challenge of making art that has a relevance to the way they live.”
