Myall Creek and Beyond

A New England Regional Art Museum Touring Exhibition
Myall Creek and beyond, produced in partnership with the Friends of Myall Creek Memorial, is an exhibition of newly commissioned works by a group of leading contemporary indigenous artists. The artists worked with local communities to create new work to explore the issues and complexities of the Myall Creek Massacre and its aftermath. The exhibition explores this difficult shared history to increase awareness and considered discourse about these events and their continued impact on both Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal people.

Logan Portraits

A Logan Art Gallery Collection and community exhibition
Logan portraits brings together a selection of portraits by a range of local artists, showcasing the breadth of subjective painting produced in the region and Logan Art Collection.
