ABOUT



Christine Joy Curation & Exhibitions (CJCE) is a passionate adherent to ethical professional practice that aims at all times for integrity and respect for all artists, and notably for Indigenous, Aboriginal and Torres Strait artists.

​CJCE and Hearth Galleries actively curates to support beginning and emerging Aboriginal artists. Curated projects create spaces that share resources, build community, invite conversation and activate cultural vitality.
​
CJCE and Hearth Galleries supports initiatives that enhance our understanding of Aboriginal culture, and lead to reconciliation and equality.

CJCE and Hearth Galleries values art that expresses love for the environment, nature, and examines our role in the earth’s ecology. Exhibitions often demand a new way of seeing, sometimes provocative, often joyful and playfully immersive.

Aiming for social cohesion, CJCE curated art spaces demand attention, provide for reflection and even stimulate action. They are always unique, vibrant and celebrate the wild! CJCE actively curates for inclusion, agency and identity. 

CJCE offers curation services. 

CJCE offers mobile art selection. We come to your home, office or boardroom and support your art selection process.


I am intrigued by the immediacy, interactivity, tactile, emotional and social nature that art can bring to a space. 
​I am passionate about creating art experience that builds community ceremony and unity, repurposing and revitalising space, listening deeply to quiet voices, and sharing stories that reveal the interplay of the ecological and cultural forces of our landscapes.
