Kaiela Arts Editions 2026 Launch | Shepparton Yorta Yorta Country
Description
Join us to celebrate the launch of the second Kaiela Arts Editions release and be the first to purchase a print at one of our free launch events.
Building on the success of the Kaiela Arts Editions inaugural release in 2025 with internationally acclaimed artist Maree Clarke, the 2026 release features an exclusive limited edition of 40 hand-printed works on archival paper and 10 silkscreen prints on glass created by senior Kwat Kwat artist Norm Yakaduna Stewart in collaboration with Melbourne-based studio Spacecraft.
This year's edition draws on Norm Yakaduna Stewart’s work, The Blow Hole - a culturally significant place near Tocumwal (in Southern New South Wales), where water flows and bubbles through a granite outcrop when the Murray River is low. Through this work, Stewart brings together Country, cultural story and the distinctive contemporary practice he has developed under the name of his great-great-grandfather, Yakaduna.
This year's edition will be on view at Kaiela Arts from 26 November to 23 December 2026 with works available exclusively through the Kaiela Arts gallery and online.
Supported by IVAIS, Creative Victoria, Spacecraft, Greater Shepparton City Council.
