Our sector should be proud of the achievements of our artists and their work internationally but, sadly, it largely falls off the radar domestically. Let’s change that! ArtsHub pays a nod to recent – and upcoming – events and achievements across the world’s great art cities.

We start with a focus on major international exhibitions by First Nations artists.
