This year, there are four artists on display — Lisa Cowal, Tamara Kirby, Uncle Eric Brown and Christopher Firebrace, all of whom have a connection to Yorta Yorta country.
Some of the artworks will be available for purchase, while some have already been sold.
The exhibition will be on display until Friday, July 7 at MEAC, 23 Alexandra St, Mooroopna.
“MEAC has always done things for NAIDOC Week, but then three years ago, we combined NAIDOC with reconciliation and began the extended opening of the art displays,” MEAC manager Jan Phillips said.
MEAC is also holding an education session hosted by Avalon Caratau, where she will share her knowledge of traditions, language, food and culture.
This eclectic program promises to help attendees learn about Indigenous culture, particularly from coastal Queensland.
NAIDOC Week will bring this interactive six-session program to MEAC.
The practices learnt during these sessions are similar and echoed across all Australian mobs.
Sessions will run from 9am to noon and 12.30pm to 3.30pm, on Monday, July 3, Tuesday, July 4 and Friday, July 7.
Each session costs $50 a person, or $120 for all three.
Avalon respectfully ask Elders to participate and bring their knowledge, and if they are in care, they will not be charged.
MEAC has continued to search for new and inclusive programs to bring to the table and prides itself on its connection to the Indigenous community of the Goulburn Valley.
