This expo is being held in honor of the late Jak Stent and her artwork. Jak had recently purchased a shopfront house in Howard, Queensland, to escape the cold of Canberra after the passing of her partner. She dreamed of transforming it into a gallery with space where artists could gather, create, and connect. Unfortunately, she never had the chance to see this vision come to life, as she passed away suddenly.
In an effort to fulfill a part of her dream, Her brother Danny has gathered as much of her artwork as possible, curated it, and presented it for public display just as she had hoped. Jak’s work has been a cherished part of the family for many years, with her pieces proudly displayed in their homes and her handmade cards treasured on special occasions. The family only has limited space to display her work leaving remaining original pieces available for sale, and select works have been reproduced so that her art and memory can continue to be shared and appreciated.
A percentage of proceeds will be donated to the Wik & Kugu Arts Centre,which supports the five Indigenous clans of Aurukun in Far North Queensland: Apelech, Winchanam, Puch, Wanam, and Sara.
