MIARITCH – COLLECTIONS OF NOONGAR ART
27 June – 22 July 2023 | Albany Town Hall
This exhibition showcases images created by twelve prominent Noongar artists and the dedicated work of two local collectors who have promoted and championed Noongar art over decades.
Tony Davis and Trevor Garland have opened up their collections for the first time to share their passion with the art-loving public.
The title – Miaritch – is the Menang name for Oyster Harbour and symbolises the mingling of many different waters in one place. Artists cannot survive without collectors and vice versa. Together, they create a legacy for the future and our benefit.
Join us for a special event on Saturday 1st July at 1pm at the Albany Town Hall:
In Conversation with the two art collectors – Tony Davis & Trevor Garland
Book launch White Sails and Charcoal. Stories of Coincidence, Bella Kelly and Carrolup by Tony Davis.
Afternoon tea and book signing.
