This exhibition is a unique opportunity to peer into a slice of WA art history when artists of Darlington and surrounds became a part of a dynamic creative community and in doing so forged new directions in art making.
The Janet Holmes à Court Collection now holds over four thousand artworks, and, as with all art collections, it began with simply a few. As residents of Darlington, Janet & Robert Holmes à Court acquired three artworks from the 1968 Darlington Arts & Craft Exhibition. These artworks inaugurated the Collection and remain an important part of its identity through to today. The Hills: An Artists’ Gathering is an opportunity to see such artworks in the company of other artworks by artists significant to the history of Western Australian art, who lived and work in the hills.
