Kingston Arts welcome you to join us on Saturday 6 July, 1pm – 3pm at the Kingston Arts Centre as we celebrate three exhibitions presented in recognition of NAIDOC Week:
Kingston Arts are proud to support local Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander artists to exhibit in the galleries. We strive to champion local talents across the year and recognise NAIDOC Week as a time where Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander arts, performance, music and cultures can be celebrated and enjoyed amongst all communities. By sharing cultures in this way, we hope to provide information and raise awareness of the rich and significant cultures of the First Peoples of Australia.
This event will be opened with a Welcome to Country by the Bunurong Land Council.
Uncle Greg Muir
It is with great sadness that we acknowledge the recent passing of the very talented and well-loved Uncle Gregory Roy Muir. Uncle Greg passed into the dreaming* whilst working towards this special NAIDOC exhibition, and with the blessing of the Muir family, Kingston Arts are honoured to present this exhibition, honouring his legacy as an artist and performer.
* ‘Dreaming’ is a term used amongst many Aboriginal communities that refers to the ‘spirit world’ that accompanies the physical one. It is believed that Creator spirits and Ancestors reside there and once someone passes away, they join them in the Dreaming.
