The On the Edge exhibition is one of the Federation Gallery's most vibrant and eagerly anticipated exhibitions of the year. This is an opportunity for artists to showcase work that poses a challenge to themselves and the viewer. They test their creative boundaries by experimenting with media in new and unusual ways, and then share the results in this exceptional exhibition! Including both sculpture and two dimensional works, these works invite you to linger, to take a closer look and examine in depth the message within the medium. Please enjoy the 2022 On the Edge Exhibition!
