From National Aborigines' Day to NAIDOC Week: 50 Years of Posters

National NAIDOC Week celebrations are held across Australia in the first week of July each year to celebrate and recognise the history, culture and achievements of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. Each year the National NAIDOC Week Poster Competition encourages Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander artists to submit their artwork which reflects that year's National NAIDOC Week Theme. The poster competition has become an iconic feature of the week and has a rich and significant history since NAIDOC began producing posters in 1967. NAIDOC posters reflect not only the many significant social changes that have occurred since 1967 but also evolution of art over the last 55 years. Exhibition will be on display from Friday 24 June until Sunday 7 August at Williamstown Library during opening hours.
