Geraldton: Regional Art Museum

From the Museum of Geraldton, we followed the waterfront trail for a bit before cutting inland a few streets to the art museum, which is housed in the same building as the Visitor Center.

The current exhibit at the museum is the “Mid West Art Prize.” This is a biennial exhibit that is in its eight year. It’s not unlike the National Aboriginal & Torres Strait Islanders Art Award exhibit that we caught in Darwin not long ago. On a smaller scale, however, and the focus is on the Western Australian Arts Culture, highlighting the contemporary work of artists from across the state.

My favorite turned out not to be a painting, but a pottery piece entitled “A Little Village of Red Brick Pots” by Pascale Giorgi. Before leaving the museum, I made sure to register my vote for it.Read more
