BY ARTS OUTWEST
welcome
welcome
We acknowledge the traditional custodians of the land we are
meeting on, the Wiradjuri people. We acknowledge, celebrate
and respect their continuing culture and the contribution they
make to the life of this region. We would also like to acknowledge
and welcome other Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people
attending today’s event.
Marramarra is a Wiradjuri world meaning make, create or do.
Bulla means ‘two’. This is the second regional Marramarra event
organised to showcase local Aboriginal visual arts, performance
and culture.
The first Marramarra was held in 2011 and involved a series of
professional development workshops around the Central West
region and a large gathering in Bathurst in July 2011.
This event looks quite different to the first Marramarra, but
has again included a series of professional development
opportunities for practitioners plus the exhibitions and
performances you will experience here today in Parkes.
Marramarra is an event in which the whole community can
celebrate the achievements of our Aboriginal arts practitioners.

The Marramarra project draws together Aboriginal artists and
creatives from the 12 local government areas serviced by
Arts OutWest: Bathurst Region, Blayney, Cabonne, Cowra,
Forbes, Lachlan, Lithgow, Oberon, Orange, Parkes, Weddin
and Wellington and the additional local government areas of
Mid-Western Region and Dubbo (which are in the Orana Arts
region but are serviced by our Aboriginal Arts Development
Officer, Aleshia Lonsdale).
This event catalogue includes the story of our ongoing
Aboriginal Arts Development program, profiles of visual artists
and performers exhibiting or performing this weekend and
information about the people and partners who have made it
all happen.
A separate price list of the visual artworks on show will can be
found in the exhibition space. Many artworks are for sale, all
at reasonable prices and with proceeds going to the artists
themselves – why not take home a permanent reminder of the
creativity and of the unique contemporary Aboriginal culture of
the NSW Central West.

Central West
The Central West Aboriginal
Arts Development Program
was set up by Arts OutWest to
develop and help build a vibrant
and sustainable Aboriginal arts
industry in our region.
Things have really been
happening over the past couple
of years. Since late 2010 Arts
OutWest has been able to
employ a full-time Aboriginal Arts
Development Officer (funded by
Aleshia Lonsdale
the federal government through
Aboriginal Visual Arts Industry Support through the Office for the
Arts). Ted Budd got things rolling from day one, he got people
really talking about the development of a bigger local Aboriginal
arts industry and helped us get last year’s Marramarra event
off the ground. In late 2011 visual artist Aleshia Lonsdale, who
had been working one day a week with Ted, took on the role
and has continued to grow the program through continued
conversations, workshops, support to artists and advocacy.

Aboriginal
Arts Program
There is a wealth of interesting work being made by Aboriginal
artists across the Central West, across a range of artforms. Arts
OutWest’s job is to help to indentify who is doing what and what
their training, business and support needs are. We’ve held
professional development for artists, supported performers
to take on new opportunities and linked practitioners up with
suitable training. Aleshia also works closely with communities,
lands councils, agencies and others to link people together and
make the best of available opportunities. Our job is also to help
build the profile of Aboriginal Arts in the region – and beyond –
so that our region’s talent and output becomes more visible, to
help practitioners find markets for their work. Whilst participation
in the arts remains a valuable goal, we are also focussed on
ensuring that our program’s outcomes include career pathways
for Aboriginal creative practitioners and business opportunities
for our artists.

Spread the Word
Platform
Smashed Arts
Coming up...
The performance program at the Little Theatre will include a
taste of short films made locally over recent months. Through
Arts OutWest’s Platform youth arts program, funded by the
Regional Arts Fund, film making workshops have been held in
Lithgow, Forbes, Peak Hill and Wellington.
Film workshops are just one part of the exciting line up that
Smashed Arts is offering the youth of the Bathurst Region through
funding to Bathurst Regional Council from the Department of
Health and Ageing to tackle the binge drinking amongst young
people. School holiday workshops in 2012 have focussed
on young Aboriginal people and have engaged them in film
making, music, dance and circus.
Spread the Word is an art program that focuses on health
promotional messages related to chronic disease within the
Aboriginal community. Working across three art forms – belly
casting, graphic design and film/ hip hop – workshops will be
held in 10 centres in the Central West from December 2012 to
May 2013. The project culminates with showcases in Forbes,
Bathurst and Peak Hill.
This project is funded by the Australian Government through
the Department of Health and Ageing and delivered by Arts
OutWest in partnership with the Aboriginal Health Management
Team, based in Orange and the Western NSW Local Health
District.
