Outstation Gallery - Aboriginal Art from Art Centres

Established in 2008, Outstation Gallery works directly with art centres in the presentation and promotion of Indigenous art from the Tiwi Islands, Arnhem Land, the Western Desert, the Kimberley and Central and South Australia. Supporting art from art centres, ensures that fair work practices are maintained. Through many years of direct experience with artists, their art centres and community engagement, they have been able to observe a high ethical standard in our business. The exhibition profile comprises a broad cross-section of work from both established and emerging artists.  The artworks range from traditional media such as ochres on bark paintings and hollow logs to contemporary visions in other media such as fibre art, photography, soft sculpture and acrylic paintings. To encourage and support the promotion of emerging artists an annual Rising Stars exhibition is held each February. Through the ongoing exhibition program, we hope to support enterprise development for individual artists to sustain an income from their artistic practice and to support art centres in the important role they serve within their communities. In 2013 Outstation Gallery teamed with Paul Johnstone Gallery, to present the inaugural Salon des Refusés, exhibiting works not selected for the Telstra NATSIAA.
