Kate's Kudditjis: From the private collection of Kate Owen
20 June 2026 to 19 July 2026
Some artists stop you in your tracks. For Kate Owen, founder of this gallery, Kudditji Kngwarreye was one of them.
Kate's Kudditjis is an intimate exhibition drawn from Kate's personal collection - works she chose not to sell, but to live with. Discover the paintings Kate has just released that made her smile every time she walked past them.
Desert Sands
25 July 2026 to 23 August 2026
This group exhibition brings together artists whose work evokes the windswept patterns of sandhills and dunes - the country that shapes, sustains, and defines them.
Utopia: Past, Present, Always
5 September 2026 to 4 October 2026
This remote community in the Northern Territory has produced some of the most celebrated and widely collected names in contemporary Aboriginal art. Bringing together established and emerging artists, the exhibition reflects Utopia's enduring legacy and the new directions continuing to grow from it.
King Sisters
14 October 2026 to 15 November 2026
We are thrilled to welcome the King Sisters back to the gallery - artists, fashion designers, mothers, and two of the most dynamic creative forces in contemporary Aboriginal art.
This exhibition showcases their latest body of work, and for one special opening weekend, the sisters will be in the gallery in person, painting, connecting, and meeting the many fans who have followed their remarkable journey.
Please note that exact dates are subject to change. Life with the King Sisters is nothing short of full: between raising families, running a fashion label, and maintaining an extraordinary artistic practice, their schedule is as vibrant as their work. We appreciate your patience and flexibility.
