VDSA is proud to support and assist with this art education program for indigenous youth disconnected from family and culture and experiencing distress, misfortune and helplessness.

The program is managed by Marrickville Youth Resource (MYRC) Centre and Connect Marrickville’s Aboriginal Art and Outreach Program, with VDSA President Vittoria Pasquini attending the launch of the Program exhibition ‘Yarn N Arts’ at Boomalli Gallery in Leichhardt on October 30.

The exhibition includes a showcase of artworks named ‘Community’ which were created by indigenous youth and families over the course of three workshops facilitated by indigenous elder Marlene Phillips and her mentee Hazel Robinson at The Settlement in Redfern, Marrickville Connect community and MYRC.

MYRC’s Aboriginal Art and Outreach Program is part of an outreach strategy to assist in promoting casework and engagement to community services with indigenous communities in the inner west.
