In 2013/2014 Art Connect had two
successful exhibitions. The first
showcased the work of Natasha
Corrigan during Naidoc Week
2013. The quality Natasha’s work
was extremely impressive and was
well received by the community
with nearly all paintings from the
exhibition selling. Mr and Miss
Naidoc Week helped open the
exhibition, with Aunty Rieo Ellis
giving the Welcome to Country.

The second exhibition was
supported by two students from
La Trobe University. Kayla Van
der Weyde and Mary McPherson
worked with a group of 9 local
artists to exhibit their work under
the banner ‘I am, We Are’. Several
pieces from this show also sold.
7,069
passengers
Around 280 people attended both
shows which would not have been
possible without our committed
and passionate volunteers.
Thank you to our committee who
continue to ensure Art Connect
provides local artists opportunity
to display their talents.
