We invite you to join us to Celebrate Children’s Week at Baluk Arts, with a special exhibition by the students from Worawa College.
Worawa Aboriginal College provides a holistic education and boarding experience for young Aboriginal women in the secondary years of schooling (Years 7-12) who come from Aboriginal communities in urban, regional and remote Australia.
The collection of work was initially on display at Parliament House and showcased the response of the senior students (Years 10 – 12) to the 2026 Reconciliation Week theme of ‘All In for Reconciliation’.
We hope you can join us for opening celebrations on Saturday 24th of October at 2pm.
If you can’t make the opening, this vibrant exhibition will be on display from Wednesday 21st October until Wednesday 4th November.
Bookings can be made via the link in our bio.
