Oliewenhuis Art Museum is pleased to announce the opening of Beyond Walls: Emerging Contemporary Voices, curated from the ArtbankSA Collection, on Thursday, 4 December 2025.

Oliewenhuis Art Museum is pleased to present The Co-Incidence of Circumstances, a solo exhibition by Wessel van Huyssteen, featuring a decade of work that explores landscape, materiality, and the marks of power on our environment. The exhibition runs from 6 November 2025 until 8 February 2026.

Oliewenhuis Art Museum is proud to present PREKARIA, a solo exhibition by Kilmany-Jo Liversage, on show in the Main Building, from 9 October until 23 November 2025.

Kilmany-Jo Liversage creates portraits that sit at the blurry boundary between fine art and urban art. Adopting the urban art language allows her to update, renew and challenge the conventions of painting, though her rendering of female subjects is inspired by Renaissance era portraiture.
