A once-in-a-lifetime exhibition of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander art—a visual thread connecting more than 250 nations across 65,000 years. Explore its breadth and brilliance through nearly 200 works from the late 1800s to today.

You’ll find ochre paintings made on bark, maps of the Central and Western deserts (so-called “dot paintings”), groundbreaking works in neon, video, and photography, and more. And you’ll meet iconic artists who maintain and reinvigorate Ancestral traditions—revealing the rich, living history of creativity behind the world’s longest continuous culture.

Drawn exclusively from the collection of the National Gallery of Victoria in Melbourne, The Stars We Do Not See features many masterpieces that have never left Australia—until now. We’re honored to debut this landmark North American tour.

We'll gather at noon in the lobby of the NGA East Building (the newer one). After an hour or so in the galleries, we'll wander down to the Cascade Cafe for a relaxing lunch.

Event Host: Lora. Repeat attendees will be invited to host a future event.
