RSS FeedAboriginal Art To Exit Downtown
Dreaming Their Way: Australian Aboriginal Women Painters, an exhibit worth taking in at the National Museum of Women in the Arts (1250 New York Ave, NW), will be leaving DC on September 24. Catch it while you can. Aboriginal art is not easily found in this town and this exhibit is a perfect introduction to the Dreamtime (or the Dreaming), the collection of legends and stories used by native Australians to explain the creation of the Earth and its phenomena while simultaneously tying themselves to their Down Under homeland. If you want some original Aboriginal works to hang on your own wall, try Art Mob (Hobart, Tasmania) or the Gallery Gondwana (Alice Springs and Sydney); they both ship overseas.
