Three exhibitions by established and next-generation artists from different regions are running concurrently in Everywhen Arts’ summer show over January.

Award-winning Kimberley artist Shirley Purdie's solo show comprises rich ochres which detail her Gija people's creation stories and the 20th Century events which shaped both her own life and that of her people. Innovative paintings by Amanda Gabori - the youngest daughter of famous artist Sally Gabori – relate the stories of her Far North Queensland Bentinck Island Sea Country in her solo exhibition; and vibrant paintings by Atipalku Intjalki, Carlene Thompson, Janice Stanley, Langaliki Lewis, Rachael Mipantjiti Lionel and Tjulyata Kulyuru from Ernabella Arts in the APY Lands depict salt lakes, desert storms, Mamu-spirit figures and more.

Each show occupies its own exhibition space in Everywhen's historic home gallery, Whistlewood.

The artists are represented by three of Australia's leading First Nations-owned art centres: the Kimberley's Warmun Art Centre; FNQ's Mornington Island Arts; and the APY Lands' Ernabella Arts, the oldest continuously running art centre in Australia. With their contrasting mediums, styles and subject matter, these exhibitions make for a stylistically varied, culturally rich and exciting display. A wide range of other First Nations art is also available.
