NAIDOC celebrations this Saturday! Artist talk with Victor Ronan -

Victor Ronan is the local feature artist for ‘50 years of Deadly’, our 2026 NAIDOC Week Exhibition. Come to see him speak about this collection of beautiful paintings on Saturday 11 July, from 1.00pm-2.30pm.

Victor started painting at VPCA’s Create Connect art workshops in 2021 before concentrating on developing his skills through more individually focused studies, where Victor connected with the stories from his family. Victor’s technical approach references the work of local Noongar artists, trained in Western styles of drawing and painting from the Carrolup School in the early part of the 20th century. Victor’s story echoes this year’s NAIDOC theme of determination and resilience, studying and honouring his culture; continuing to develop a personal artistic voice.

We also have paintings being exhibited in the Main Gallery by Ngaanyatjarra artists of the Great Victoria and Gibson Desert areas: Jasmine Lawson, Linda Eddy, Marcia Thompson, Joyce Nelson, Melissa Holland, Phillipa Butler, Moya Porter, Sylvia Robertson, Selena Lane, Harley West and Rosie Lane.

We are grateful for the support from Dept of Communities, Monadelphous Group & Bush Blossom Gallery, Kalgoorlie in developing this initiative.

Last couple of days to catch The Rollability Art Show, up for another couple of days in the Front Room. This is a small collection of works that celebrate the creativity, talent, and unique perspectives of artists in Perth who are living with disabilities.

Through painting, sculpture, photography and more, this exhibition provides a welcoming space for artists to share their stories, challenge perceptions and connect with the community through the power of art. Presented by Rollability Disability Services.

The exhibition is up until 2 June.
