CAIRNS ART SCENE

 Situated in  an  old Cairns courthouse , at one stage a hotel , the From the Ground Up  exhibition  by the Yarrabah  Arts Centre  celebrates the vitality and beauty of  Yarrabah's  environment and reflects the stories of the Indigenous  community  and its  culture. The  foundation  to each story reflects  childhood  memories of  fishing, hunting  and collecting from the land and sea.


A correspondent recently sent  coverage from  another exhibition in the Cairns Regional Art Gallery  which  included the above  distinctive Central Australian  watercolours  by  Albert Namatjira,from the collection of a Sydney art dealer.
