Featuring the work of Australia’s leading women artists, Harvey Art Projects proudly presents The Women’s Show, 2022.

This exhibit celebrates women artists who are not only outstanding painters, but also important cultural and community leaders. These mothers, daughters, sisters, aunties, grandmothers and great-grandmothers are all revered matriarchs, women who empower, sustain and preserve their respective communities.

Since the late 1980's, the work of Aboriginal women artists has emerged as a dynamic and distinctive artistic movement. After many years sitting on the sidelines assisting their fathers and husbands, women overwhelmingly took the reins asserting their cultural authority through an ongoing artistic practice. This included the rise of a number of leading desert art centers who were spurred on by community female membership. Today women artists are at the forefront of Aboriginal Art, they are often its most daring innovators whose practice is unbounded by convention.
