The 13th Koorie Art Show at KHT

The Koorie Heritage Trust is proud to present the 13th Koorie Art Show — a vibrant annual celebration of the talent, creativity and cultural strength of First Peoples artists across Victoria. This open-entry, non-acquisitive award exhibition showcases the extraordinary work of Victorian Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander artists aged 17 years and over, offering a powerful snapshot of contemporary First Peoples art and storytelling.

Alongside this flagship exhibition, KHT are delighted to present 8th Koorie Art Show Young Mob, celebrating the emerging talent of our young creatives aged 5 to 16 years. Young Mob celebrates imagination, identity and cultural pride through the eyes of the next generation.

Together, these exhibitions honour the artistic excellence of First Peoples artists of all ages — from budding young makers to established practitioners.

Experience the diversity, innovation and cultural strength of First Peoples communities.

The Koorie Art Show is proudly supported by Creative Victoria, City of Melbourne, the Australian Government’s Indigenous Visual Arts Industry Support program, the Australian Government through Creative Australia, its principal arts investment and advisory body, RMIT University, Lendlease, Viva Energy Australia, ANZ Bank and Fed Square.
