Some of the hottest openings across the country includes:
Yolngu Power: The Art Of Yirrkala
The Art Gallery of New South Wales’ Yolngu power: the art of Yirrkala showcases eight decades of Yolŋu culture and creativity, featuring nearly 300 works by 98 Aboriginal artists from north-east Arnhem Land. Presented with the Buku-Larrŋgay Mulka Centre, the exhibition highlights how Yolngu artists have used their work for political and cultural expression since the 1940s.
Visitors can also explore Yalu, an immersive digital installation in a former wartime bunker, and enjoy the Warakirri dining experience—a five-course meal paired with storytelling that celebrates Aboriginal Australian food and heritage.
Meanjin to Minjerribah Cultural Day Trip
Step into the heart of Aboriginal Australian culture with Yura Tours on North Stradbroke Island/Minjerribah, where Quandamooka Traditional Owners share 60,000 years of unbroken connection to land and sea. This full-day experience goes beyond typical tourism, guiding guests through sacred stories, cultural practices, and native plant knowledge amid stunning coastal landscapes.
Departing from Brisbane/Meanjin, the tour supports reconciliation through economic partnerships with the Quandamooka community. Highlights include local wildlife encounters and a visit to artist Delvene Cockatoo-Collins’ studio in Goompi (Dunwich), where ancestral stories are handprinted onto contemporary works.
National Centre for Environmental Art
Australia’s first gallery dedicated to environmental art has opened in Halls Gap, at the foothills of Victoria’s Grampians National Park. The National Centre for Environmental Art invites visitors to explore the intersection of art, science, and nature through thought-provoking exhibitions and immersive experiences.
Launching with End & Being by Jacobus Capone—featuring video and photography from a performance on Mont Blanc’s Bossons Glacier—the centre also includes a botanic garden, native grasslands, and outdoor commissions. Just two hours from Melbourne/Narrm, it offers a powerful new lens on our relationship with the natural world.
