Upcoming Exhibition: Beyond the River

Beyond the River is a celebration of female First Nations artists from the Clarence Valley, who have dared to look beyond the river’s banks, drawing inspiration from its unseen depths and expansive reach. Their works transcend the physical landscape, capturing the essence of its influence— its rhythms, histories, and quiet whispers that echo across Country.

Through layered narratives and powerful artistic expressions, this exhibition invites audiences to explore the river not just as a place, but as a living presence that shapes identity, memory, and creation.
