To Wondoomorook
An Artbox exhibition by Simeon Ayres

Dates: 1 to 31 May 2026

Venue: The Artbox, 25 Binney Street, Euroa

Strathbogie Shire Council is pleased to present To Wondoomorook, an exhibition by local artist Simeon Ayres, at the Artbox in Euroa this May.

The exhibition brings together a distinctive series of map drawings and limited-edition prints reflecting Ayres’ ongoing engagement with place movement and lived experience in the region.

Artist Simeon Ayres said the exhibition was “a bundle of ideas and meetings of one-off maps and drawings and limited-edition prints showing some of the secret pathways into the hidden hills of Wondoomorook”.

An accomplished artist with many admirers, Ayres is also a mapmaker and bus driver from Strathbogie. His practice spans creative mapping, visual art and community engagement. He has exhibited widely and completed numerous mapping commissions across Victoria and North East Victoria. In 2027, he will present a commissioned exhibition at the Shepparton Art Museum.

Mayor Scott Jeffery said Council was proud to support artists whose work deeply connected to local stories and landscapes.

“We are proud to showcase an artist who uses mapping to tell local stories”, Cr Jeffery said. “Sim Ayres’ work reflects the depth and richness of our region and the creative voices that come from it.”

Visitors are encouraged to drop in throughout May and meet the artist during gallery opening hours. The Artbox is open Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday from 10am to 2.30pm. The exhibition can also be viewed at any time through the Artbox glass windows, providing continuous public access.

To Wondoomorook is the final Artbox exhibition in Euroa for 2026 and marks the 34th exhibition presented through Council’s mobile micro gallery program. Following the exhibition, we look forward to the Artbox moving to Strathbogie township for a three-month residency.
