When major galleries like NGV and MCA cast the net out to their young audiences in Melbourne and Sydney, it’s not hard for word of their teen events to spread and for registrations for their events to build (though both galleries have seen noticeable dips in interest since they had to shelve their teen parties during COVID, 2020/2021).
No doubt a huge drawcard to the tour was Ngununggula founder and local artist resident Ben Quilty who was there as a tour guide to share his insights of working with APY Lands artists with the group.
