The highly anticipated 12th Koorie Art Show is set to launch on 7th December 2024, running through 23rd February 2025 at the iconic Koorie Heritage Trust in Federation Square, Melbourne.
The Koorie Art Show is an open-entry, non-acquisitive award exhibition, presenting the works of Koorie and Victorian based Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander artists (new and emerging, mid-career and senior) aged 17 years and above.
