Artists across Gunnedah Shire are being called on to get creative ahead of NAIDOC Week 2024.

Held across Australia from 7-14 July, 2024, NAIDOC Week will celebrate and recognise the history, culture and achievements of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.

This year’s theme is “Keep the fire burning! Blak, loud and proud!” and artists are invited to create an artwork – whether it is sculpture, painting or another form of art – to be included in the annual Gunnedah NAIDOC Exhibition.

Submissions can be dropped off at the Gunnedah Bicentennial Creative Arts Gallery between 9am, Monday, 24 June and 3pm, Sunday, 30 June.

Submission forms are available on the Civic website – www.thecivic.com.au – and the exhibition will open at 1pm on Friday, 5 July.

The exhibition will continue until 9am, Friday, August 9, when artists can collect their works.
