We're thrilled to announce an upcoming exclusive event centred around the unparalleled artistry of Nerelie Derbyshire. As part of this exceptional occasion, we are set to auction exquisite pieces by the esteemed artist, with proceeds going to the RFDS.
However, the event goes beyond a simple auction. In our smaller gallery, a showcase of additional works by Nerelie Derbyshire displaying her art and also the artist's background and inspirations.
The Cannery Arts Centre proudly invites the community to its notorious biennial 9x5 Art Auction which celebrates the creativity of local, national and international artists and raises funds to support The Cannery’s not-for-profit activities.
This year’s 9x5s have been exhibiting in the main gallery since the 10th of November, with silent bids being placed along the course of the showing. On the 17th of December, the highly anticipated live bidding will take place, giving our community a chance to go home with a piece of their own.
Come down to enjoy the nibbles, hit the Cannery bar and bid on a beautiful little gem for your wall.

Since inception, Balmy Nights has grown steadily to become a fully-fledged Music and Arts Festival. Evolving from a live music-focused outing into a celebration of the multiple artistic mediums delivered at The Cannery Arts Centre. Supporting events have been created, to invite the wider community to experience elements of our primary event.
In 2023, Paige Valentine (Full Band) hits The Cannery Arts Centre off the back of a string of releases, with her national tour wrapping up at Balmy Nights on November 25th. King Ibis, Drea and 2023 WAM Regional Song of the Year winners Sunny Day join us from further afield with locals DJ Tasty, Rachel Vibart and Talia Storm taking the stage.
Balmy Nights challenge the perception of an Arts Centre event, fusing live music with all The Cannery has to offer. CAC’s 9x5 exhibition was an absolute hit in 2021, the perfect fit for Balmy Nights, returning in 2023 with local, regional and national artwork on display. Pottery Studio, Shop Space, Art Room and Print Room are all marked to be activated in new and exciting ways, we cannot wait for you to experience them.
Balmy Nights is brought to you by Kyza Presents and The Cannery Arts Centre. Supported by The Mt Burdett Foundation and our key local sponsor Luxe Floral and Home Co.

Artist in Residence Ana Tiquia has returned to complete Seeder Futures, the artwork she has been developing over the last 12 months as a part of her SPACED Rural Utopias residency here at the Cannery Arts Centre in Kepa Kurl / Esperance.
The exhibition at the Esperance Museum will feature videos of Esperance community members who actively give and share with others through diverse community initiatives. The video installation features interviews with Annie Dabb, Christiane Smith, Jennene Riggs, Karli Florisson, Kat Walkerden, Katie White, Kyron Smithson, Megan McDowall and Sam Starcevich.
The project is deeply inspired by the generosity and community spirit of the people of Esperance. Ana had the opportunity to witness the remarkable acts of giving, sharing, and volunteering of time, knowledge, skills, and resources during her stay in the Esperance community. "Seeder Futures" encapsulates the ethos of giving and explores the concept of gift economies within a community. It serves as a reflection and celebration of the essential role that giving plays in building and strengthening a connected and vibrant community.

Artist in Residence Ana Tiquia has returned to complete Seeder Futures, the artwork she has been developing over the last 12 months as a part of her SPACED Rural Utopias residency here at the Cannery Arts Centre in Kepa Kurl / Esperance.
Seeder Futures is a shared digital folder featuring works from the Art Gallery of Western Australia (AGWA) State Art Collection and a collection of videos of Esperance community members who actively practice giving and sharing through diverse community initiatives. The folder will be collectively hosted by Esperance community curators, and on a PC at AGWA.
This is hugely exciting, as AGWA have never made their public domain collection available to the public in high resolution before. The Esperance community will gain first access to this collection through the artwork.
Ana invites you to become a 'seeder' or community curator and custodian of this artwork – which enables you to access the work as well as host it, from your mobile device or PC. More information will be provided.
Join Ana for afternoon tea at the Cannery where you can view this unique collection of artworks, find out more about what's involved in being a community curator, and for those who are keen Ana will be available to help anyone who wants to join the community curator team to access and host the collection on their mobile device or PC.
Please RSVP before 3 November to katie@canneryarts.com.au
