First Nations Commissioned Artwork EOI
Date: June 3, 2024
An exciting opportunity exists for Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander artists connected to the Kamilaroi/Gomeroi (Tamworth, Inverell, Moree), Biripi (Taree), Birpai (Port Macquarie), Anaiwan (Armidale) or Gumbaynggirr (Coffs Harbour) Nations & Nations within our footprint to submit an expression of interest for a design to be commissioned and installed at one of The University of Newcastle Department of Rural Health’s locations.
Our Footprint
The artwork will be installed at a primary location and reproduced and interpreted for a variety of uses across the UONDRH footprint and wider University of Newcastle campuses.
This commissioned artwork recognises the enduring connection that First Nations peoples have had and continue to have to the country, sky and waterways and their profound understanding of health that encompasses physical, emotional, social, and spiritual wellbeing. The artwork will be a visual representation of this recognition.
