So true successful isn’t all about scale. Richness comes from clarity, depth, connection. That’s the power of cultural value.

So true that success is not all about scale and expansion, meaningful growth has richness in the refinement, a clearer voice, braver relationships and deeper connections.

In the rush to scale up, many makers lose sight of the value of slow making.

Showing now at Jam Factory, Adelaide;
'Nurnakanha Lyaartinya Urrkaapuntja | Our New Work on Glass'

Artists from the lltja Ntjarra Art Centre have partnered with Canberra Glassworks to reinterpret the Hermannsburg School watercolour tradition through the medium of glass. Following a series of collaborative workshops in Mparntwe (Alice Springs), the Canberra Glassworks has created glass ‘blanks’ that were sent to Mparntwe for artists to work on, and these were then returned to CGW for engraving and hand finishing. The result is a spectacular series of blown glass vessels featuring the artists’ landscape paintings in a continuation of Albert Namatjira’s work. The collaboration follows an artist-led approach, focusing on stories and the curatorial rationale at Iltja Ntjarra Art Centre.

Exhibitors: Mona Lisa (Benita) Clements, Carita Coulthard, Dellina Inkamala, Dianne Inkamala, Kathy Inkamala, Raelene Inkamala, Reinhold Inkamala, Vanessa Inkamala, Mandy Malbunka, Betty Namatjira Wheeler, Mervyn Rubuntja, Kumantjai M Wheeler

Exhibition presented as part of 2025 Tarnanthi Festival, the Art Gallery of South Australia’s festival of contemporary Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander art.
