Everywhen Art

Everywhen Art was established by art writers, researchers, curators and gallerists Susan McCulloch OAM and Emily McCulloch Childs as a branch of the art company McCulloch & McCulloch in 2009. (McCulloch & McCulloch was established in 2003 to write, produce and publish the 4th edition of the major reference book McCulloch’s Encylopedia of Australian Art and the best selling guide book Contemporary Aboriginal Art.; the complete guide. ) A mother and daughter team, McCulloch & McCulloch grew to be a multi-faceted art company. We curate public and private gallery exhibitions, are frequent speakers and commentators on Australian art (specialising in First Peoples art), judges of major art prizes and awards and initiators of social enterprise projects and fundraising initiatives.  We have been exhibiting Australian First Peoples art from our home gallery Whistlewood on the Mornington Peninsula and in other locations since 2009. We ran Everywhen Artspace at Flinders, Mornington Peninsula from December 2018 to October 2023, before relocating back to our historic home gallery Whistlewood in January 2024.

The gallery is named “Everywhen” in tribute to the anthropologist W.E.H Stanner who, in his 1953 essay ‘The Dreaming’ in describing the nature of time as it relates to the Aboriginal belief system, said ‘One cannot “fix” The Dreaming in time, it was and is everywhen.”   Educating our audience, clients and the public in general about First People’s art is a core goal of our gallery. We present 8-11 exhibitions annually, mostly comprising works from more than 30 First Peoples-owned art centres Australia-wide.

(Please note: as we largely represent art centres rather than individual artists, we have noted 14 art centres whose work we’re exhibiting in 2026 under Gallery Represented Artists. From each centre we exhibit between 2 to 15 artists per exhibition.
