Canopy Art Centre

The Canopy Art Centre, situated in the vibrant cultural landscape of Cairns, Australia, has established itself as a focal point for art enthusiasts keen on exploring the diverse expressions of contemporary art. Known for its dedication to Indigenous Australian art, the centre is a vibrant space where the works of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander artists are proudly displayed.

Over the years, Canopy Art Centre has curated a series of significant exhibitions featuring Australian Aboriginal art, each carefully selected to provide a broad perspective on the traditional and contemporary techniques and stories within this genre. These exhibitions often showcase the intricate dot paintings, vibrant landscapes, and abstract interpretations that have come to characterise Indigenous Australian art. The centre’s focus is not only on the visual impact of these works but also on the deep cultural significance and the connection to the ‘Dreaming’ – the foundational narratives of Aboriginal existence.
