Exhibitions Opening: Mezze, Strange Sensation, Held

Please join us for the launch of three compelling exhibitions at Lawrence Wilson Art Gallery that examine identity, perception and connection.

Mezze

Featuring lavish table settings and a monumental print installation, Deanna Hitti's solo exhibition explores how language and culinary traditions shape what it means to be Australian.

Strange Sensation

Drawing on notions of the uncanny, this exhibition brings together contemporary artists from the UWA Art Collection whose work blurs thresholds of perception and memory, disturbing our sense of the familiar.

Held: On care and collections

Artist Michele Elliot responds to works in the Cruthers Collection of Women's Art, guided by her ethics of care and ideas around social responsibility and connection.

Where: Lawrence Wilson Art Gallery

When: 6-8pm Thursday 30 July 2026

Refreshments provided. Please RSVP now to secure your place.

Exhibitions run from 31 July until 19 September 2026.

Lawrence Wilson Art Gallery is open Tuesdays - Saturdays 11am - 4pm. Entry is always free.
