King Island Artist Showcase
King Island Artist Showcase
Celebrating our talented community of King Island Artists.
The showcase opened Thursday 27 February, 6pm at the King Island Gallery.
Our island is home to a wealth of creative talent - a community of artists constantly exploring their unique perspectives, shaped by the island’s flora, fauna, and surrounding sea.
This local Artist Showcase is a celebration of our unique creative eye, bringing together a collection of works from 19 talented King Island artists. Each artist has curated their own collection, offering an intimate look into their creative process, inspirations, and stories.
Featuring over 100 works across various artistic mediums, this exhibition is a testament to our cultural identity and the diverse creative voices within our community. We hope you will come and experience the art of our islanders - bold, reflective, and deeply connected to place.

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.
