Conversations: Recent Acquisitions from the Ipswich Art Gallery Collection

The works selected for the Conversations exhibition are recent acquisitions from the past 12–18 months that reflect conversations occurring in the community. They speak to the environment, connection to culture and the hope for a bright future. First Nations perspectives and voices feature prominently in these recent additions to the Ipswich Art Gallery Collection. In so selecting these works, we hope to have captured some of the conversations of our time.

Art collections serve as repositories of cultural heritage, sources of education and inspiration, catalysts for creativity, and contributors to societal development and enrichment. They have both intrinsic and practical value, and their existence contributes to the vibrant cultural tapestry of humanity.
