ABOUT THE EXHIBITIONS

Ever Present: First Peoples Art of Australia
ONLY AUSTRALIAN SHOWING

Drawn from the National Gallery of Australia and Wesfarmers Arts collections, Ever Present showcases significant works from Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander artists from across Australia. The works reveal the contemporary views and lived experiences of First Nations people, bridging time and place, and connecting through the perspectives of identity, resilience and cultural legacy.

The View From Here
NOW ON

The View From Here is the Gallery’s largest-ever exhibition of Western Australian art, with 30 new commissions, exhibitions and acquisitions by leading Western Australian artists and creatives. The exhibition captures the perspectives of a diverse group of artists, from Tim Meakins’ playful interpretation of modern fitness culture, Bruno Booth’s attire-wearing cats appearing in unexpected places through to recent works by Abdul Abdullah, Sarah Bahbah, Ngarralja Tommy May, and Tarryn Gill, the gallery spaces are transformed into a celebration of Western Australian art, culture and creativity.

Ever Present: First Peoples Art of Australia is a National Gallery Touring Exhibition in partnership with Wesfarmers Arts
and supported by the Australian Government through the Office for the Arts.
