Get ready for a trip down the art rabbit hole with "Dangerously Modern: Australian Women Artists in Europe." This exhibition is like a pop quiz on modernism that you didn't study for, focusing on the incredible contributions of fifty Australian women who decided to pack their bags and hit the European art scene at the turn of the twentieth century. Talk about breaking the glass ceiling – these trailblazers didn't just challenge social norms, they stomped all over them to carve out their own careers in a world that didn't always appreciate their talent.

The gallery is serving up over 200 pieces that'll have you contemplating everything from colour choices to the meaning of life. Whether you're admiring sweeping landscapes or intimate portraits, these artworks don't just sit pretty; they poke fun at traditional ideas of success and gently remind us that ambition comes in all shapes and sizes. You'll find a smorgasbord of styles, from realism to abstraction, so prepare yourself for a delightful mix that will have your eyes doing a happy dance. Hope you love modern art because this event is a treat for your senses – and who knows, it might just inspire your next great masterpiece.
