The 2026 NAIDOC Exhibition: Opening Night

Join us for the open night of 'The 2026 NAIDOC Exhibition', the exhibition will feature a selection of artworks, sculptures, homewares and more by our indigenous artists from the collective! Meet the artists and hear their stories behind their work.



This year marks 50 years of NAIDOC Week, recognising the strength, resilience, and cultural leadership of First Nations communities across generations. This exhibition is grounded in the belief that art is a powerful vehicle for storytelling, cultural preservation, and truth-telling. In aligning with the 2026 NAIDOC theme and our values at CEAC, the curatorial approach centers First Nations voices, prioritising authenticity, diversity of experience, and the connection to culture and community.

The exhibition seeks to:

Honour the contributions of past generations while amplifying contemporary voices

Provide a platform for both emerging and established Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander artists

Create a meaningful engagement between artists and the wider community

Showcase a range of artistic styles, from traditional to contemporary practices

Through this exhibition, Creative Edge Art Collective continues it's commitment to supporting and elevating First Nations artists, ensuring their stories are shared on their own terms.

The opening night event will be held on Friday 10th July from 6:30-8:30pm.

Come celebrate and appreciate all this beautiful art with the CEAC team and the artists in the gallery with your friends and family! This event promises to be an unforgettable experience with refreshments available and nibbles served throughout the night, provided by our sponsors Lizard Dragon Distillers and Spinifex Brewery Co.

This year's exhibition features 15 First Nations artists from across Western Australia, each bringing unique perspectives, stories and artists practices.
