JOHN CURTIN GALLERY

Open Borders is a survey of contemporary regional art practice featuring 40 artists from all 12 regions of Western Australia. This exciting exhibition is the culmination of the three-year Mycelium project, overseen by Southern Forest Arts, which had its genesis in the closed borders of the COVID-19 pandemic. The project, established in 2020, facilitated and presented the work of more than 160 regional artists and curators as a way to nurture resilience and sustainability throughout the years-long pandemic.

Open Borders is co-curated by Annette Davis, independent curator from Albany with Jane King, Director and Lia McKnight, Curator/Collections Manager at the John Curtin Gallery, and represents the quality and diversity of regional arts practice.
