The Hidden Line: Art of the Boyd Women repositions the creative practices of five generations of women from one of Australia’s most prominent artistic dynasties.

Running from 22 November 2025 – 15 February 2026, the exhibition showcases more than 300 diverse works, this timely exhibition brings the women of the Boyd family into focus. As artists, designers, photographers, and creative collaborators, their contributions—though historically less celebrated than those of their male counterparts—remain deeply influential.
