The viewers are invited to experience the exhibition through sight, sound, and smell. The exhibition is curated with a mixture of archival photographs, and physical artefacts which were sourced from Italian families in Myrtleford, along with photographs, glass, structures, and a book made specifically for the exhibition.
It all begins with an idea. Maybe you want to launch a business. Maybe you want to turn a hobby into something more. Or maybe you have a creative project to share with the world. Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. Don’t worry about sounding professional. Sound like you. There are over 1.5 billion websites out there, but your story is what’s going to separate this one from the rest. If you read the words back and don’t hear your own voice in your head, that’s a good sign you still have more work to do.
