Survey of Indigenous Ceramic Art from the Shepparton Art Gallery Collection
21 February to 19 April
The study and appreciation of Indigenous Ceramic Art is a growing area. The foundation of ceramics in earth, water and fire, together with the tactile nature of this art form, continues to attract some of the most significant Aboriginal artists of our time. This exhibition showcases a selection of work from the Shepparton Art Gallery collection to highlight the development of this art form over the past thirty years, including a representation of Thanakupi from the 1970s to today
