Blak Pearl Studio's first exhibition launches tomorrow night and runs through until 22 December 2023. Stop by and see some amazing work from an incredible community of artists.

Blak Pearl is a creative studio in Fitzroy that aims to provide a culturally safe environment for local Aboriginal people who cannot access mainstream spaces.

It has been an immense privilege to be involved in this initiative and work with Elders, artists and community who have made the Studio their creative home.
