Tarnanthi Festival and Art Fair
Last October 4 artists and 2 staff members traveled to Adelaide for the Tarnanthi Festival. We had the opportunity to showcase our unique works to the public at the Tarnanthi Art Fair, which was held at the Tandanya Culture Institute. Kevin and Lenie Namatjira, Gloria Pannka and Mervyn Rubuntja talked about their works that were on display. We had plenty of feedback and sales for our artworks.

Canberra's Arts Summit & ANU Residency 
Recently, Marisa Maher (Admin Art Assistant) traveled with Gloria Pannka and Lenie Namatjira to Canberra for the Rights of Culture Summit, facilitated by Creating Australia.  This event was held at the Parliament House with guest speakers from across the nation. This time in Canberra was also the opportunity for Gloria and Lenie to visit the National Museum of Australia with writer Alison French. They viewed many artworks from descendants of their family. Gloria and Lenie also facilitated workshops for art students from the Australian National University, and learned new techiques in etching, painting, drawing and printing.
