Baked Goods | A Ceramics Show

Tuesday 1 September 2026

Drawn from the State Art Collection and shown in AGWA's historic Centenary Galleries, this display of ceramic works asks how we categorise objects, and where use ends and art begins. It sets the functional studio pottery of the mid-twentieth century against the more conceptual work of ceramic makers in the later twentieth and twenty-first centuries, with pieces by Eileen Keys, Col Levy, Gwyn Hanssen Pigott, Peter Cooley and many others. Free entry. The Gallery and the Centenary Galleries are open seven days a week, 10 AM – 5 PM.
