New Artists’ Collective acknowledges the Darkinjung, Awabakal, and Gumbaynggirr peoples as the Traditional Custodians of the Country where we live and work. We recognise their continued connection to the land and waters, and we thank them for protecting the ecosystems of these beautiful places since time immemorial. We pay our respects to Elders past, present, and emerging, and extend that respect to all First Nations people present today.
