Upriver Downriver - Various Artists

The Hunter River has shaped one of the most important regions in Australia and along its mighty length a community of artists is connected geographically and creatively.

Building on the 2023 iteration of Upriver Downriver, Maitland Regional Art Gallery will embark on a major exhibition energising all Gallery spaces to celebrate the expansive range of art and ideas resonating throughout this region.

Come on a journey through the eyes of artists and wind your way from the Upper Hunter down through to Maitland, across many tributaries and into the Port of Newcastle. The artists selected for this exhibition reflect the diversity of practice and ideas in the region and will give audiences the opportunity to see the Gallery hum with the creative energy of the Hunter.
