Here comes HELEN MUSA with another burst of “Arts in the City”. 

FORMER Canberra entertainer and co-founder of the CAT Awards, Kate Peters, has been seen on Netflix in the mystery drama “Dive Club”, which was shot in far-north Queensland. Peters left the ACT years ago for the Gold Coast, where she has become as much of an institution as she was here, and one of our reviewers wonders if she’ll become the next Jacki Weaver.

MURRUMBATEMAN artist Stephen Harrison has long been fascinated by lighthouses and has turned his attention to them in recent years in sculpture and painting. His new exhibition, “Pharus”, a nod to the Pharos Lighthouse, one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, will be at Kyeema Gallery at Capital Wines, Gladstone Street, Hall, opening at 5.30pm on December 23 (book at capitalwines.com.au) and running to January 24.

GEORGE Huitker and his band Junk Sculpture rocked into the New Year for years at Teatro Vivaldi’s. This year they’re playing at a dinner and show at Gold Creek Station. “Junk Sculpture are known to throw everything, including the kitchen sink, into these New Year’s Eve gigs,” George reminds us.

FURTHER to our recent story about Daramalan Theatre Company’s new film, “Under the Light”, teacher and drama critic Joe Woodward says the work is now public and the movie, described as “a work of theatre cinema which draws on the minds and emotions of its characters”, can be accessed here free for a very short time before costs start to apply.

THE Nancy Sever Gallery has two exhibitions that focus on printmaking: “An Australian Alphabet”, an exhibition by the Southern Highlands Printmakers curated by Basil Hall; and “Rare Collectible Prints”, an exhibition of limited edition prints from the collections of Basil Hall, Monique Auricchio and Jo Diggens. Both at the gallery, Level 1, 131 City Walk, Civic (next to King O’Malley’s), December 12 to January 23 (the gallery will be closed December 24 to January 11).
