Land, Water, Country brings together the acquired works from the North East Water First Nations Art Prize.
Since 2017, the prize has run as a biennial award and exhibition that invites local First Nations artists to submit artwork in response to the theme of “water”.
Each work is a powerful and poignant reflection on local Aboriginal identity and shows the incredible talent of First Nations artists across the north east and Border region.
The North East Water First Nations Art Prize is a proud partnership between North East Water and Murray Arts, Burraja Gallery, North East Catchment Management Authority, Department of Energy, Environment and Climate Action and the Australian Gas Infrastructure Group.
