Araluen at 40
1 June – 11 August 2024
To celebrate its 40th anniversary in 2024 the Araluen Arts Centre is presenting a major survey exhibition drawn primarily from its permanent Collection and artworks it holds on long-term loan. The exhibition is curated around five currents: CATALYST, IMMERSION, COLLISION, DIVERGENCE, SURPRISE, and will have a particular focus on artists from Central Australia and how their knowledge and experience of place influences diverse and innovative art practices. It will also highlight artists of national importance, also well represented in the Collection, who have not only influenced arts practice but also how we, as a nation, see ourselves and understand this country. Spanning two major galleries, this exciting exhibition is a celebration of the richness and depth that the Araluen Art Collection offers to the people of Central Australia and visitors alike, showcasing inspiring and thought-provoking artworks spanning more than 90 years, in our nationally recognised art centre.
