Public Galleries Association Victoria and Australian Museums and Galleries Association have announced the shortlist for the 2O24 Victorian Museums and Galleries Awards.
Amongst the finalists in the First Nations Project of the Year category are Australian Centre for Contemporary Art (ACCA)’s Between Waves exhibition, featuring significant commissions by Maree Clarke and Hayley Millar Baker; Counihan Gallery x Blak Dot Gallery’s Future River: When the past flows exhibition, presenting Maree Clarke’s extension of her Long Journey Home series; and Bunjil Place’s ngaratya (together, us group, all in it together) exhibition, including Kent Morris’s commissioned original karta kartaka (pink cockatoo) series.
Winners, including those of the Individual Awards, will be announced at the Awards Ceremony, held at Science Gallery Melbourne and hosted by comedian and broadcaster Sammy J.
