Join us for a free talk and presentation with artist Judith Forrest at Gallery Central Perth. 

The upcoming exhibition, The Out Of the Ordinary marks the culmination of 50 years of Judith Forrest’s art practice. It focuses on the everyday actions—past and present-that carry deep meaning. 

Through sketching, she has documented the interactions between people: how they sit, wait, talk, and engage with one another, as well as their relationships with animals, including pets, and the ways they socialise together.

Event details

Sunday 19 July | 11am - 1pm | Gallery Central Perth

The exhibition will be on display from 3-19 July 2026.
