Welcome to OUR MOB, Adelaide Festival Centre’s much loved annual art exhibition.
Over the past eighteen years, hundreds of First Nations artists have exhibited and shared their stories while building and growing their careers. We are immensely privileged to provide a platform for contemporary First Nations visual artists and recognise the ongoing importance of OUR MOB and OUR YOUNG MOB for us all.
In the spirit of reconciliation, and with Adelaide Festival Centre’s Innovate Reconciliation Action Plan now endorsed and active, we are delighted to welcome artists, partners, and audiences to this exceptional exhibition.
Although being driven by Adelaide Festival Centre, OUR MOB is dependent on key arts organisations across the state who collaborate with First Nations artists far and wide, as well as partners in the arts industry and regional and remote arts organisations that bring First Nations artists together in a professionally presented annual exhibition and celebrations. Through OUR MOB we can track the emergence and development of new and exciting arts activities and come to know the work of individual artists.
