As a component of MWPA’s first RAP, Aboriginal artists who reside in and have connections to the Mid West are invited to submit a concept design for artwork to be included in MWPA publications, including the MWPA Reflect RAP.
MWPA CEO, Damian Tully said “MWPA’s Reflect RAP will primarily focus on scoping our landscape for opportunities to shift internal policies and procedures, build awareness, remove barriers, and support staff in our reconciliation journey”.
Creatives with an ability to tell a story, build connections and conceptualise a vision are encouraged to create and submit a concept design for consideration.
Mr Tully said, “this is a unique opportunity to influence reconciliation in the region, in addition to showcasing your talents”.
Expressions of Interest for MWPA’s Reflect RAP Artwork closes on Tuesday, 3rd January 2023.
