​Following the fabulous success of ‘The Authentic Consequence’, survey exhibition at Mornington Peninsula Regional Gallery in 2025, John Baird and I are hard at work refining the text and images for inclusion in a monograph of his work.
I want to acknowledge the valued support of Mornington Peninsula Shire Council who in October 2023 provided funding as part of its Creative Grants to research, write and edit a manuscript on the artist’s life and work.

I am excited to announce my recent appointment to the Board of the Georges Mora Foundation, a small but active not-for-profit cultural organisation that aims to ignite courage and​ fresh thinking in art, and is dedicated to the promotion of contemporary art and artists in Australia.

A casual association with members and friends of the Mora Family was cemented in 2007 when I curated an exhibition at Mornington Peninsula Regional Gallery on the art, architecture and friendships that characterised the Mora and John and Sunday Reed holiday houses on Melbourne’s Port Philip Bay.

​The Art Gallery of Swan Hill recently launched its major redevelopment in October 2025 featuring enhanced viewing spaces, better storage and environmental conditions and an open education studio and workshop area. RJA were pleased to have worked alongside Brandrick Architects, Echuca, as lead gallery consultant on the initial plans for a new gallery to be built in front of the Pioneer settlement and then, when sadly this did not eventuate, on the redesign and expansion of the established single story building.

​The Frank and Janet South Collection was auctioned at Menzies in South Yarra in November 2025. RJA and Suzanne Janet South OAM heartily thank Cameron Menzies and his team for their hard work in producing an outstanding result and handsome stand-alone publication, a project that was over two years in the making.
