ON THE back of a successful opening year, Shepparton Art Museum (SAM) are pleased to announce that it will be the Victorian host of a significant National Gallery of Australia (NGA) touring exhibition.
In its partnership with NGA, SAM will host the 4th National Indigenous Art Triennial: Ceremony, the NGA’s flagship exhibition of contemporary Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander art, on its national tour.
Ceremony remains central to the creative practice of many Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander artists. Featuring a selection of the works of 35 artists across Australia, this exhibition reveals how ceremony is at the nexus of Country, of culture and of community.
Both of SAM’s major galleries, the Lin Onus Gallery and People’s Gallery, are closed until December 17 while the highly anticipated exhibition is installed by the SAM and NGA teams.
“We are thrilled to partner with the National Gallery to present such a significant exhibition at our museum, and on the country of Yorta Yorta people. This show will span two floors of the museum in our main gallery spaces creating a truly immersive experience,” said SAM CEO, Melinda Martin.
Tonight, you can join curators and artists from SAM and the National Gallery to discuss the exhibition ahead of its public opening on Saturday, December 17.
