Over the next 12 months, Shepparton Art Museum will stage 14 new exhibitions, across all five floors.
This year, SAM will present exhibitions that connect with locally relevant stories and histories, celebrate Australian artists and continue to foster national institutional relationships.
SAM is the only Victorian arts venue to host three nationally significant exhibitions, including two nationally touring exhibitions: Art In Conflict from the Australian War Memorial and Ceremony; 4th National Indigenous Art Triennial from the National Gallery of Australia. SAM will also present the seventh edition of the nationally acclaimed Indigenous Ceramic Award. SAM’s extensive collection of ceramics will also be on show throughout the SAM building in 2022
Art in Conflict opened at SAM on March 26, on its first stop on a national tour. The exhibition will debut three major new bodies of work from acclaimed Australian artists Susan Norrie, Megan Cope and Angelica Mesiti.
The 2022 Indigenous Ceramic Award will open in August and is the seventh in the series of this biennale event at SAM. The 2022 program will close with a National Gallery of Australia touring exhibition, Ceremony: 4th National Indigenous Art Triennial, opening in December 2022.
Throughout the year, SAM will continue to present engaging and playful work by artists in the Children’s Gallery space. There will be further exhibitions throughout the year.
More information on each exhibition will be released throughout the year. SAM is open seven days a week, 10am to 4pm, entry and exhibitions are free.
