Friends of BAC Art Tours
Blacktown Arts Centre organises bus tours to exhibitions, performances and other cultural events as part of the Friends of BAC program throughout the year.
As part of the Blacktown City Festival and to coincide with the exhibition Place of Sense at the Centre the next event is a visit to UnDisclosed: 2nd National Indigenous Art Triennial at the National Gallery of Australia, Canberra. Set among the newly renovated Indigenous and Torres Strait Islander Galleries the exhibition showcases the work of 20 Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander artists from across the country, representing the dynamic visual expression of contemporary Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander art today.
The group will also visit the National Museum of Australia. The museum is a social history museum exploring the land, nation and people of Australia with a focus on Indigenous histories and cultures, histories of European settlement and our interaction with the environment.
