Exhibition Opening Event/ Hold Still: A Study of Souls
Join us on Tuesday 7th April from 6-8 pm for the opening event Hold Still: A Study of Souls
Artists Include: Tashi Columbro, Olaf Hajek, Alexey Kondakov, Mauro Llanas, Daria Petrilli, Sally Ryan, and Ben Ryan
We are proud to present Hold Still: A Study of Souls, a major group exhibition dedicated to contemporary portraiture, bringing together internationally renowned artists from Australia and abroad. This exhibition marks the first time these highly sought-after works are presented together in Australia, shown alongside a considered selection of established and emerging Australian artists.
Through meticulously crafted portraits, the exhibition explores how each artist captures the inner life of their subjects. Across diverse visual languages, the works navigate shadow and tenderness, revealing the raw emotional territories of joy, love, loss, and longing.
Hold Still: A Study of Souls offers a rare opportunity to experience these artists’ practices in dialogue - a powerful meditation on the human condition and the enduring complexity of the soul.
Featured artwork: Torre de marfil (Ivory Tower) by Mauro Llanas
The exhibition runs from 7th April - 30th May. This event is free and open to the public, with no ticket required.

7:30pm
Join soprano Uma Dobia for a dazzling night of arias inspired by the QUEENS of opera.
Uma is a versatile and dynamic performer, acclaimed for her work across opera and cabaret. She has been praised for her “jewelled singing” (Arts Review), described as “a force to be reckoned with” (HoopLA), and noted for “unparalleled talent and charm” (ArtsHub).
This special event features selections from Offenbach, Britten, and Dove, alongside the beloved and challenging Queen of the Night arias from Mozart's Die Zauberflöte. Uma will be joined by Maestro Raymond Lawrence (piano) and Daniel Szesiong Todd (tenor) for this performance.
Uma was selected to perform Mozart's Queen of the Night at the prestigious Berlin Opera Academy International Summer Program in June. This exceptional program offers intensive training and invaluable exposure to the German and wider European opera scene.
This special concert is a fundraiser to support her journey and help her make the most of this incredible opportunity.
Nightingale Performing Arts Australia proudly supports this event by sponsoring the venue. Developing and supporting early-career musicians remains central to the company's mission.
Step into an intimate evening of powerful storytelling, technical brilliance, and operatic drama... a night truly fit for a Queen.
