Youth Voice - What Matters Exhibition
Opening Saturday 5 April 1:00pm at the King Island Gallery, Currie Wharf
What do young people in our island community care about most? What dreams, struggles, and passions shape their world? What Matters is a powerful, youth-driven exhibition showcasing the voices of young islanders across all mediums. Through their creative voice, our island’s youth explore the issues that define their lives and identity. This exhibition is a space to speak, be heard and be seen. We are celebrating the perspectives, creativity, and bold ideas of the next generation of King Islanders. What Matters isn’t just about art — it’s about listening, learning from, & amplifying the voices that will shape our island’s future.

Nubar Ghazarian, In Search of Phantoms
Exhibition opened Saturday 7 December, 6pm at the King Island Gallery
Selected from the KI Gallery’s call out for a local artist EOI, this is a retrospective exhibition of artworks by Nubar Ghazarian created on King Island over the past twelve years. Through photography, mIxed-media and paintings, Nubar explores his journey to get in touch with the figments of his imagination and the ghosts from the past that inhabit the island and appear in abstracted and dream-like forms, both natural and supernatural.
Nubar is a Photographer/Artist who has worked in the film industry for over thirty years as a writer/director. He has always photographed, sketched & painted in a variety of media. Living on a small hobby farm on King Island has given Nubar an opportunity to connect with the natural landscape and seascape and delve into the forces of nature that encompass our human experience. “I like to develop concepts through photography, sketching & painting. It’s a magical way of creating a story and communicating my ideas & feelings to the viewer”
Exhibition closed 31 January 2025.
