Arts North West feels proud and privileged to have this exceptional piece by Glen Innes Elder, Ngarrabul Yinaar Adèle Chapman-Burgess, which acknowledges the First Nation land and histories where we work and live. It is so beautiful.
Fortuitously, as a fantastic member of the Glen Innes maintenance staff was installing this piece on Thursday, Adèle was driving by and was able to see the piece as it was just hung on the Arts North West office building. It was so cool to have her there.
We will have a formal launch of this piece in early May during the Creative Recovery Workshop, commencing 11 May at Arts North West, and we will invite the local community and our First Nations Elders to come to that event. We will be organising a formal cultural ceremony to open the workshop and acknowledge the installation of this beautiful plaque.
