30 Years Strong
ABOUT
Mangkaja 30 Years Strong closes October 8. There is still a chance to see it and there are still a few gems available for purchase.
This exhibition celebrates thirty years of art creation at the Mangkaja Arts Resource Agency. Over this time, Mangkaja has creatively boomed becoming a vital part of the local community in Fitzroy Crossing. The artists have become widely known for their bold, loud and dynamic styles, experimenting with a range of media, expressive colours and free-flowing forms. The Mangkaja artists bring stories of country and First Nations cosmology alive, as well as mixing in ideas of social justice, displacement, environmentalism and the world beyond.
This exhibition presents works from the Janet Holmes à Court Collection in conversation with works from Mangkaja.

Unique States
ABOUT
There are a couple of weeks to catch this show. If you are in the area this weekend make sure to make it a part of visiting the Margaret River Open Studios.
Unique States considers different states and the many meanings of the idea of the ‘unique state’. It refers to a print making technique, to states of being, societal and environmental states and to our geographical state. The past three years have launched humanity into ‘unique states’ and Western Australia has become even more of a ‘unique state’ because of its position apart from the rest of Australia and the world. Unique States presents political and environmental realities, as much as flights of fancy, taking viewers through a variety of unique states via the medium of print.

Upcoming Exhibition @ no.10
twentyFIVE+ Crossover
ABOUT
twentyFIVE + Crossover marks both an anniversary and a watershed moment for the WA Fibre and Textile Association (Wafta). Founded in 1995, Wafta is Western Australia’s premier textile organisation – an umbrella membership group that encompasses the widest range of textile and fibre artists. To celebrate, a juried exhibition is taking place.
For this exhibition the artists worked according to two criteria – use no more than three textile techniques and challenge the use of materials and techniques of traditional fibre and textiles. Altogether 42 artworks have been selected by a jury whose focus was on placing textiles firmly in the contemporary art arena. For the first time, three monetary prizes will be awarded in the ‘Professional’, ‘Maker’ and ‘Student’ categories.

Monique Tippett, Phase, 2022
Monique Tippett / BURNT
ABOUT
Fire is ever-present in the Australian environment and as the mid-summer sun starts scorching the land it weighs heavily upon the Australian psyche. Within bushland, fire has a dual identity as both restorative and destructive. It can destroy life and livelihoods as much as it can create the conditions for new life to emerge.
Monique Tippett / Burnt is a response to the duality of fire. Fire is wielded by Tippett as a creative force. It is used for artworks that reside somewhere between sculpture and painting, as three-dimensional wall works. Burnt is a solo exhibition that brings together a selection of large and small, new and old works, that glow from gold to red and from the deepest darkest charred wood to snowy ash.
Artworks will be available for purchase.
