Artist George Passi's pearl luggers will feature in UMI Arts' The Summer Show that opens on Friday 11 November 2022
Featuring 27 artworks by 15 Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander artists, The Summer Show will celebrate its official opening on Friday 11 November 2022 and then run over the Christmas and New Year period until Friday 5 February 2023.
UMI Arts’ Exhibition Officer Robyne Pacey said The Summer Show, which showcases fine art and gift wares created by the organisation’s talented member artists is a timely exhibition in the lead up to Christmas and is priced accordingly with affordable price points.
“The artists who created this vibrant show of works were asked to draw inspiration from the dynamic energy of the tropics and they have done that wholeheartedly, many bravely experimenting with new techniques and styles.
“This year’s colourful and eclectic show includes paintings, works on paper, artefacts, multi-media installations, fabric, homewares, and ceramics in what is testament to the artists’ diverse talent and distinct Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultures,” Ms Pacey said.
