OUR LAST ABORIGINAL ART DAY AT

MURRURUNDI WAS A GREAT SUCCESS. Many of you enjoyed our recent reader event in the NSW Upper Hunter region — and left with a much better understanding of Aboriginal art. Wally Caruana, a former senior curator of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander art at the National Gallery of Australia, shared his expert understanding of indigenous art with readers at Michael Reid at Murrurundi Gallery.
