Our Business 2025: Sundowner & Aboriginal Art Showcase
Sunday 2 November
Spinifex Hill Studio, South Hedland
FREE EVENT
Aboriginal Art Centre Showcase | 2 – 5pm
Hear from Aboriginal art centres and artists from across regional and remote Western Australia and discover the exciting new initiatives taking place across communities.
Art centres are among the biggest innovators in the state – engaging and empowering their communities and providing a hub for all ages where Aboriginal art is made and cultural knowledge and practices continue.
The afternoon’s conversations will spotlight the power of intergenerational knowledge sharing and are an opportunity to celebrate First Nations culture and draw inspiration for the future.
Spinifex Sundowner | 5 – 7:30pm
Celebrate a week of conversations and knowledge sharing as we welcome the WA Aboriginal art centre and Hedland communities for an evening of local live music, art and activities, and a free sausage sizzle. This is a family friendly event and a great chance to explore your local art centre – Spinifex Hill Studio and their latest exhibition, In Our Hands: Vision. Legacy. Strength.
Family friendly, alcohol free event
