Over the past year, Dungog artist Helene Leane has created an interesting body of work inspired by a beautifully ornate National Cash Register housed in the Dungog Museum. This register once took pride of place in Skillen’s grocery store, located where the Dungog Medical Centre now stands.
The community can now experience her creations in the exhibition Bing Bang Ring. Cash is King! Officially launched by Dungog Mayor Digby Rayward, this special exhibition was made possible with funding from the Regional Arts Fund and the NSW Government. It is part of Arts Upper Hunter’s initiative to bring new energy to three regional museums across the Upper Hunter.
