Your Australian Art Guide for July 2022

WORDS Jasmine Pirovic PUBLISHED Sat, 2 Jul 2022 - 10:00 am

So, somehow we've found ourselves in the second half of 2022. If, like me, you'd prefer not to talk about it, then art makes for a worthy distraction. The good news is, there's a wealth of Australian art exhibitions taking place across this July 2022. As we open the month with NAIDOC Week, many galleries are spotlighting First Nation's excellence and storytelling. Catch the National Indigenous Art Fair at the Overseas Passenger Terminal in the Rocks and step into the Art Gallery of Western Australia to see Tracks We Share: Contemporary Art of the Pilbara.

Meanwhile, Granville Centre Art Gallery is partnering with Parramatta Artist Studios for Over the Fence, exploring connections, neighbours and community from a Western Sydney context. Then there's Jedda-Daisy Culley's show Download Hats at Jerico Contemporary. As for the rest? You're going to have to continue to find out. Below, find a non-exhaustive guide to Australian art in July 2022.
