In 2021 and 2022 an artist from each region of Western Australia explored the theme of Ebb+Flow through a residency in WA's Mid West. These residencies culminated in the Ebb+Flow exhibition celebrating a collection of works created by the artists with the community.

The Ebb+Flow theme explores how changes in our personal lives and regional communities are often temporary. That there are periods of decline and growth, drought and rain, hardship and prosperity... that factors outside of our control ebb+flow.

The works in the Ebb+Flow exhibition were created during residencies supported by the Department of Local Government, Sport and Cultural Industries; Lotterywest; Minderoo Foundation; and the Regional Arts Fund.

The Open Borders regional events series was a unique initiative of The Creative Grid - a collective of like-minded arts organisations that collaborate on projects seeding, sharing and promoting regional creativity.

Participating communities included: Geraldton, Broome, Dwellingup, Denmark, Esperance, Carnamah, Kununurra, Port Hedland, Ravensthorpe, Kalgoorlie, Northcliffe, Narrogin, Margaret River and Gascoyne Junction.

160 visual artists contributed to the 12 group exhibitions with approx 10 performers contributing to the performance-based activities.

Erosion was exhibited at the Artgold gallery in December 2022.

During two week-long festivals in May 2017 and 2018, Artgold presented Heartwalk. Over 60 contemporary murals were installed on building walls and empty shop windows in the Kalgoorlie CBD by visiting and local artists.

This 4km self-guided walking trail is best enjoyed over 3 hours, with plenty of cafe breaks to restore your energy! Maps are available from Artgold - 14 Burt Street Boulder
