GALLERY NEWS: ALL THINGS GREAT AND SMALL

Indigenous art

Perth’s Six Seasons Gallery, part of the Art Gallery of Western Australia and named after the Noongar six seasons, is now open: an Indigenous-focused space dedicated to the display and interpretation of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander art. Its opening exhibition, Outside: Matters of the heart in Indigenous art, examines the beauty and significance of the land through the eyes of Aboriginal artists. artgallery.wa.gov.au

Grand plans

Sydney is set to have its arts game significantly raised when the Art Gallery of NSW’s extension is completed – slated to be in time for the gallery’s 150 year anniversary celebrations in 2021. A cash injection of $224 million from the NSW government has been confirmed for the project, Sydney Modern, and will see the gallery double in size. artgallery.nsw.gov.au

Small packages

Canberra’s newest gallery is also its smallest. The gallery of small things (GOST) opens on 27 September to showcase the works of emerging artists and makers including textiles, ceramics, paintings, photography and jewellery. facebook.com/galleryofsmallthings
