The Araluen Celebration

At the culmination of our July/August creative development in Alice Springs, we have been invited by the Araluen Centre to present a celebration of the life of Albert Namatjira as part of their 2010 program. It will take place on the 7^th and 8^th of August 2010, exactly a year on from the 50^th anniversary of Albert’s death. Together with Ngurratjuta Many Hands Art Centre we will present a celebration of Albert Namatjira’s life and legacy through visual and performing arts.

The exhibition will run alongside this, and be held from 30 July to 30 August. Featuring original watercolours by Albert Namatjira’s descendants and curated by the Ngurratjuta Many Hands Art Centre, this unique exhibition will guide you through spectacular Central Desert landscapes – the artists’ country and the country that Albert used to paint. Alongside the Araluen Arts Centre’s permanent displays in the Albert Namatjira Gallery, these vibrant, contemporary works are testimony to Albert’s living legacy

Following this, the works will tour from Alice Springs to Sydney where Birrung Gallery will hold the exhibition during the Belvoir St Season of Namatjira, at their World Vision gallery in Darlinghurst.
