In celebration of this year’s NAIDOC Week theme “Heal Country”, we are inviting young artists aged 6-16 years old, Australia-wide to create an original artwork that shares their culture, ceremony and spiritual connection to Country. The entry that best reflects the theme will receive a $500 Yarn voucher and have their design printed as a limited edition Yarn collection.
100% of the profits from the limited edition collection sales will go to the following non-profit organizations; ALNF (Australian Literacy and Numeracy Foundation), Nutrition Plus, Gunawirra & Surat Aboriginal Corporation. Each of these organisations aims to improve the lives of Indigenous communities, specifically children and their families.

This picture I painted is of the mountains and river where I swim with my family. We go there and explore the land and dad teaches us all the meanings of the animal tracks and how the treat the land. I love flowers and rainbows and these hills remind of the rainbow. I painted a meeting place and lots of campfires down at the river banks with all the hills in the background. If everyone looked after our country it would look as beautiful as my picture.
