Join Benalla Art Gallery and Jacqui Stockdale for the official celebration of the exhibition The Outlaws’ Inn. Enjoy refreshments, and the opportunity to meet the artist and converse in a relaxed setting.
The installation evokes the feeling of entering The Ann Jones Inn, Glenrowan, and Stockdale speaks of an intent to create an environment where visitors “feel privy to a siege, a wake, or a bushranger’s family reunion.” While The Ann Jones Inn no longer stands, it was famously the site at which the Kelly Gang ‘imprisoned’ 62 locals without resistance. As the hours passed waiting for the constabulary’s train, the Gang are believed to have insisted on drinks being poured, and for everyone to enjoy music, singing and dancing.
Jacqui Stockdale: The Outlaws’ Inn is presented as part of the Benalla Festival—celebrating Our Community, Our Future.
