This colourful exhibition encapsulates the whimsical essence of the Alice Springs Beanie Festival demonstrating the growth of the Beanie as an art form and the imagination, creativity and fine craftsmanship presented in each piece. It also highlights the works produced by Indigenous artists from the Central Desert region who are regular collaborators in this cross cultural event.
An exhibition embraced by artists and beanie makers from far and wide, the collection will inspire audiences to laugh, don crazy headwear and bring out those knitting needles all over again.
