About JCG<\/h2>\n

Housed on the Curtin University campus in Bentley, the John Curtin Gallery is one of Western Australia\u2019s foremost public art galleries and one of the largest and best-equipped university galleries in the country.<\/p>\n

The Gallery curates the Curtin University Art Collection, one of the State\u2019s major public collections. Established in 1968, the Collection has more than 3,200 objects valued at over $20 million and major strengths in Australian contemporary art and Indigenous art. It includes the Herbert Mayer Collection of Carrolup Artwork, a unique collection created by Noongar children from the Stolen Generations at the Carrolup Native Settlement.<\/p>\n

The Gallery has more than 40,000 visitors each year, and contributes to ongoing community conversations about the world and our place within it. Our exhibitions, events, and public programs are a catalyst for critical dialogue and cultural exchange.<\/p>\n

We collaborate with local, national and international artists, curators, museums, galleries, partners and supporters. This combination of local and global perspectives, and the associated discourse about human rights, sustainability, inclusiveness and reconciliation, has the power to develop understanding in our communities and create lasting change.<\/p>\n<\/div>
