PACC Gallery was filled with creativity, conversation and community on Saturday 15 August, as more than 80 people joined us for the official opening of Clay on Country on a beautiful sunny winter day.
Visitors came together to celebrate this exceptional exhibition of contemporary clay practices from Central Australia.
As part of the opening, Roni Judge from Artback NT joined PACC Exhibitions Coordinator Joseph Turrin for an engaging Q&A, offering insight into the artists featured in Clay on Country, their practices and stories, as well as the work involved in coordinating a touring exhibition and bringing a project of this scale to regional galleries.
Clay on Country presents a remarkable array of ceramics alongside First Nations artistic practices, showcasing the work of highly regarded practitioners and world-class contemporary ceramics from Central Australia.
The opening was a wonderful opportunity for our community to experience these important works, hear directly about the artists and the exhibition’s journey, and celebrate the richness and diversity of contemporary ceramic practice.
Clay on Country is currently on display at PACC Gallery until Saturday 19 September with free entry.
