Saltwater Freshwater Arts 2023
A celebration of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander arts and culture from the Mid North Coast, showcasing contemporary art and cultural artefacts from the Worimi, Biripi, Dunghutti and Gumbaynggirr nations that make up the Saltwater Freshwater region.
The Saltwater Freshwater Arts exhibition and award takes place every two years. It encourages a sense of ownership of mainstream gallery spaces by Aboriginal people, instilling pride in having their culture promoted and celebrated by the wider community.
The art award is proudly supported by the Saltwater Freshwater Arts Alliance Aboriginal Corporation: the touring exhibition and public program are proudly funded by the NSW Government through Create NSW, and in collaboration with our gallery partners; Boomalli Aboriginal Artists Co-Operative, Wadjar Regional Indigenous Gallery, Manning Regional Gallery, Glasshouse Port Macquarie and Yarrila Arts and Museum.
