Perth Art Weekend

Place Makers Curatorial Tour

Saturday, 18 October, 1-2pm  

Join curator Lee Kinsella for an in-depth tour of Place Makers, an exhibition highlighting the work of four artists whose work is grounded in relationships of place and community: Fiona Foley, Gladys Milroy, Margaret Morgan and Edith Trethowan. Each artist takes inspiration from the gritty realities of everyday life to re-frame these moments as extraordinary, with nuanced and closely observed narratives offering diverse perspectives for understanding the world. Spanning from the 1920s to the present day, the exhibition features  new and loaned works alongside holdings from the Cruthers Collection of Women’s Art. Please note, no photography of artworks is permitted.
