CXX: Celebrating 120 Years: Broken Hill City Art Gallery Collection

Each artwork has been carefully chosen to link local and global connections: creating a historical picture of what home and country is to individuals, groups, across nations, boarders and here in Broken Hill, while acknowledging the First Nations’ Peoples centrality to their ongoing connection to Country.

These works form the City’s Art Collection, feature the often unseen, earliest and recent art acquisitions, reflecting past and present.

As a part of the Broken Hill City Art Gallery’s 120th celebrations, CXX hopes to spark conversations, facilitate cultural exchange, while creating a safe space to engage.
