You’re invited to our biggest night of the year: the opening of the Spinifex Artists exhibition on Friday 20th November.Experience the history and culture of Spinifex Country in person.
It’s a privilege to show new work from the Spinifex Arts Project, an art centre we’ve worked alongside for almost a quarter of a century. Senior artists Ian Rictor, Ngalpingka Simms and Lennard Walker are joined by the next generation: Pamela Hogan, Maureen Donnegan, Jessica Veronica Brown, Michael Hogan and Michelle Anderson.
At the heart of the show is 'Spinifex Men', a new Men’s Collaborative painting more than two metres on each side. Collaborative paintings carry special weight for the Spinifex people. Their first women’s and men’s paintings showed ownership of their lands in the Great Victoria Desert, helped win Native Title, and are now held by the Western Australian Museum.
Join us for the opening night and end-of-year drinks:
