This is a rare opportunity to contribute to a vibrant, community-owned art centre at a pivotal moment of growth, as they prepare for the next round of national exhibitions and art fairs.

Their core group of 16 artists are making an impressive mark across the Australian art landscape, exhibiting in prestigious programs and receiving recognition as finalists, highly commended artists, and award winners in major national prizes such as the Telstra National Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Art Awards and the Ravenswood Women’s Art Prize.
