About RAG

" Art is the only way to run away without leaving home"
Twyla Tharp

Redfern Artists Group was started by Jo Tracy in 2009, and is an exciting collective of multi-disciplinary artists, performers, musicians and community activists who love to collaborate, celebrate, communicate, and infiltrate.
RAG run regular community art classes that take the fear out of learning to draw and paint and develops an appreciation for the joys and health benefits of creativity.

RAG artists hold regualr exhibitions and group shows responding to current events and various topics and themes.

Through the art classes we aim to build social capital through community engagement.
RAG also hopes to provide a platform for the promotion of ideas and encourage the work of the many talented atists within our community.

"I found I could say things with color and shapes that I couldn't say any other way - things I had no words for"
-Georgia O'Keeffe
