They created work en plein air, in their hotel rooms and in their studios, documenting their impressions of what they saw and experienced.

This powerful exhibition has just started its tour around Australia at New England Regional Art Museum (NERAM) in Armidale, NSW.

In this episode you’ll hear from artists Wendy Sharpe,  Amanda Penrose Hart and Euan Macleod as well as historian historian Brad Manera, who had previously travelled with many of the artists to Gallipoli.

I also interviewed them on camera and made a short video about this exhibition which you can see here.
