Keedac, with support from Arts Narrogin, held an exhibition of Aboriginal art work at the Nexus exhibition centre, Narrogin, in October/November 2023
Funded by ILA ARTS, (Indigenous Language & Arts program), Keedac has been providing training to the local Aboriginal community, in Aboriginal painting skills, and in teaching men how to select wood/branches from the bush and create Burnt Art crafts from these. The program has been very popular with the local community and we were amazed at the attendance at the exhibition, which ran into hundreds of people.
Over 50 paintings were displayed, taking up the walls of two rooms.
Francis Bolton, Aboriginal Elder and artist, took groups of men out into the bush to select wood and taught classes at the Hub on how to create art such as these on display.
Thanks to the Office for the Arts for the funding provided through the ILA ARTS program.
