UPWEY’S Burrjina Gallery has a new exhibition highlighting cultural and artistic values of Aboriginal art.
The exhibition, ‘Black Art White Walls: The Adrian and Anne Newstead Indigenous Art Collection’, features more than 60 displays from Aboriginal artists across Australia.
Running until 20 September, this exhibition will display a personal collection of indigenous art by Adrian and Anne Newstead, owners of the oldest Aboriginal art gallery in Australia.
Black Art White Walls draws inspiration from the history of Aboriginal art and craft from the earliest days of movement.
The exhibition also features the transition period of the mainstreaming of Aboriginal art and its national and international acceptance as a “dynamic contemporary art movement”.
Burrinja will also be providing free guided gallery tours on Thursdays and Saturdays at 11am.
Bookings are recommended; call 9754 8723.
Burrinja Gallery is open for display between 10am and 4pm Tuesday to Sunday and tickets cost $5.
