Round 20 of the Visions of Australia program is delivering $1.4 million towards 5 new touring exhibitions.

Five exhibitions are set to tour 36 communities across the country from July 2025, thanks to the latest round of Visions of Australia program funding. A total of $1.4 million will help these culturally significant projects to be shared with regional and remote communities.
Three of the funded exhibitions will tell stories from First Nations artists in a range of mediums that explore a meaningful relationship to Country and innovation through materials.
Too Deadly: Ten Years of Tarnanthi (Art Gallery of South Australia) features more than 30 contemporary works by Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander artists. It will be the first time, most of these ambitious commissions created for Tarnanthi Festival are being shared with audiences outside of Adelaide.
In Virlkuthalypila and Other Stories from Our Country – Same like Yesterday (SharingStories Foundation), the story of Adnyamathanha women and their ancestors’ stories and memories of growing up on Country is being presented through an animated projection-installation.
The other Visions of Australia Round 20 recipients are:
- Of this Earth: transforming culture and Country through First Nations ceramics (National Gallery of Australia)
- Afghanistan by Andrew Quilty (Museums and Galleries Queensland)
- Matters of Time: Contemporary Metal Practices (UNSW Galleries)
