Ties That Bind: Family Matters

A celebration of the powerful and enduring connections between generations of Aboriginal artists. This exhibition honours the incredible legacies of families across Central and Western Desert communities, the Top End, and Far North Queensland, where art is both a personal and cultural practice. Featuring renowned multigenerational artists, the works on display reflect how artmaking has become a vital means of preserving and passing on traditional knowledge, stories, and customs. For these families, art is not only a creative pursuit, but a lifelong commitment to culture, identity, and the future of their people. Join us as we explore the deep bonds that connect generations through art, culture, and the ongoing preservation of ancestral heritage.

Alpitye in Bloom

Following the success of Up Utopia Way (2024), we're proud to present Alpitye in Bloom - a radiant new exhibition celebrating the strength, story, and artistic brilliance of women from Alpitye Art Studio in Mparntwe (Alice Springs).
The word Alpitye comes from the Eastern Arrernte language and means flowers - a poetic nod to the diverse flora of Central Australia and the blossoming creativity of the artists who paint it. This exhibition showcases fresh works by Ada Pula Beasley, Belinda Golder Kngwarreye, Selina Teece Pwerle, and others, whose paintings reflect deep cultural knowledge, Ancestral connections, and contemporary innovation.
Drawing from the central, eastern, and western desert regions, Alpitye in Bloom invites viewers to experience the colour, complexity, and spirit of Country as seen through the eyes of its custodians.
