After two years of consultation, The Art Gallery of Western Australia with support from the Rio Tinto Community Investment Fund today announced the launch of a six-year $1.8 million Kimberley art initiative Desert River Sea: Kimberley Art Then & Now.
Desert River Sea has grown from extensive community consultation and research undertaken by the Gallery with art centres, elders and community members across the region. This consultation phase was also enabled through support from Rio Tinto who, “took a leap of faith in supporting the Gallery’s vision,” according to Joanne Farrell, Board member of the Rio Tinto Community Investment Fund.
