A highly tailored art exhibition schedule; the primary focus of the gallery is art consulting and dealing combined with anywhere between ten to fourteen significant exhibitions a year. The aim being that around four exhibitions are entirely Aboriginal, the others consist of Australian artists from the nineteenth century until the present day. The underlying value of the exhibition calendar is that it affords collectors the opportunity to view and acquire artwork—by primarily established contemporary artists—from around the country. The gallery exists in all its diversity to enable collector’s to build and enrich their collections.
