🎨 Behind the Scenes: Sylvia Wilson

Our new feature shines a spotlight on the arts workers who keep regional WA's creative sector running: curators, admin staff, event organisers and so many more.

First up: Sylvia Wilson, a curator who works tirelessly to exhibit other artists' work, all while maintaining her own practice!

This year alone, Sylvia has curated two exhibitions which you can still catch: Bugai Whyoulter: Desert Spirit at 8 Hele Gallery and Powerhouse Wanti II at the Courthouse Gallery+Studio in Port Hedland.

Sylvia’s first solo exhibition of her own work, Wanti Yuu, has just opened at Mosman Art Gallery.

Thanks to Martumili Artists and The Junction Co. for the introduction.

OUT OF COSSACK | Opening Night | Karratha

Join us for an evening celebrating the winners, residency & creations of the 2026 Cossack Art Awards. Ticket link at bottom of post.

The conversation doesn’t end when the Cossack Art Awards close.
Out of Cossack brings this year’s award-winning artworks to the Red Earth Arts Precinct, offering the Karratha community another opportunity to experience the works recognised at one of regional Australia’s most celebrated art awards.
Featuring the recipients of the 2026 Cossack Art Awards, the exhibition celebrates artists whose practices push boundaries, tell compelling stories and reflect the diverse landscapes, cultures and experiences of Western Australia. Together, these works represent the breadth of contemporary artistic practice and the exceptional calibre of this year’s awards.
By bringing these celebrated works into a new setting, Out of Cossack extends the life of the Cossack Art Awards beyond the historic township, creating new opportunities for audiences to connect with the artists, their ideas and the conversations their work inspires.
Whether you’re revisiting favourite works or seeing them for the first time, Out of Cossack invites you to experience a collection of artworks that continue to shape and celebrate the creative landscape of our region.
