Join us for a day trip to The Phillips Collection in Washington, D.C. to see the exhibition Marking the Infinite: Contemporary Women Artists from Aboriginal Australia, curated by our very own Henry F. Skerritt. Learn more about the exhibition here.
Each summer, NAIDOC Week celebrates the contributions and achievements of Indigenous Australians, and this year the theme is “Because of her, we can!” What better way to celebrate the contributions of Indigenous women than by travelling to see their artwork at America’s first museum of modern art?
