LWAG Welcome Back

Thursday 5 August, 5pm-7pm

The new semester brings new exhibitions to LWAG!

We’re keeping the gallery doors open late on Thursday 5 August – come stop in to enjoy complimentary drinks and nibbles alongside a special tour of the latest exhibitions with UWA Art Collection Curator Sally Quin.

Don’t miss the opportunity to get a behind-the-scenes look into the new exhibitions and to find out what’s coming up this semester at LWAG.

Currently showing to 27 November:

Feeling abstract?
Paintings from the UWA Art Collection, 1950–1990

Feeling abstract? explores abstract painting over a forty year period through works in the UWA Art Collection.

The exhibition features key examples of Australian abstraction of the 20th century and is a unique opportunity to view dynamic, large-scale paintings from the Collection, several of which have been included in major national exhibitions but have not been on public display at Lawrence Wilson Art Gallery for several decades.

Curated by Sally Quin, Curator, UWA Art Collection.
