Exhibitions
8 August until 27 September 2008: "Rockholes". This is the GRAND OPENING exhibition for our Sydney gallery.
The exhibition showcases emerging and established artists from remote central and western desert Australia, including the highly acclaimed Bill Whiskey Tjapaltjarri from Watiyawanu Artists of Amunturrungu.
"Rockholes" exhibition highlights the significance of water sources to Aboriginal people. For traditional Aboriginal people all life revolves around water - and no where is it more important than in the desert.
I look forward to welcoming you, Lisa
