Significant Others

Accessible Event Exhibition & Shows Internet Access

Access info

While the term ‘significant other’ has come into everyday use to refer to someone’s intimate partner, it has its origins in psychology, referring to people who have a major influence on one’s quality of life – a parent, mentor or other figure who has shaped a person’s development.

This exhibition celebrates connections between artists and their works in the Gallery’s outstanding Collection, exploring a range of different relationships between pairs of artists – as partners, family members, teachers, mentors or friends.

Artists in the exhibition include Hans Heysen and Nora Heysen, John Brack and Helen Maudsley, Joy Hester and Albert Tucker, Inge King and Graham King, George Lambert and Thea Proctor and many more.

Stay In the Know

Across Victoria’s Midwest, we acknowledge that we travel across the ancient landscapes of many First Peoples communities.

These lands have been nurtured and cared for over tens of thousands of years and we respect the work of Traditional Custodians for their ongoing care and protection.

We recognise the past injustices against Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in this country. As our knowledge grows, we hope that we can learn from their resilience and creativity that has guided them for over 60,000 years.

As we invite people to visit and explore Victoria’s Midwest, we ask that alongside us, you also grow to respect the stories, living culture and connection to Country of the Ancestors and Elders of our First Peoples.
