In celebration of NAIDOC Week, which runs from Sunday 2 July to Sunday 9 July this year, Council is presenting a range of arts exhibitions that showcase the culture and creativity of diverse Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander artists, groups and Elders.
Mayor of Maroondah, Councillor Rob Steane OAM, encouraged the community to experience the exhibitions.
“These exhibitions are a wonderful display of history, culture and achievements by First Nations artists, whose works are often filled with spiritual meanings and also express knowledge and beliefs that have helped influence the wider community’s laws, ceremonies and daily lives,” Cr Steane said.
“I encourage everyone to view the range of artworks and celebrate the creativity of First Nations artists.”
