Our mission is to connect our regional community to Indigenous expression and art through supporting the culture, arts and creativity of Australia’s First Nations people.
Building upon its inaugural initiative, Façon Australia, have announced the launch of the second annual ‘Indigenous Storytellers Scholarship’. Greater Bank is proud to support this initiative once again in 2024.
The scholarship program is designed to celebrate, sustain and grow Indigenous art and design in New South Wales. Greater Bank will provide a $10,000 scholarship to support the winner’s creative aspirations, with guidance from Murrook Cultural Centre.
The program consists of nine differing creative discipline categories that are open for applications including: fashion design, accessory design, art painting, music, dance, writing, digital art, film, and photography.
The finalists, one from each field will get to share their craft and obtain sound advice from a leader in their field.
An independent panel comprising leaders in the Indigenous and artistic communities will select a finalist from each category.
Scholarship applications have now closed. Finalists in the nine creative disciplines, along with the recipient of the scholarship will be announced at the event in NAIDOC Week on 11 July 2024 and on this page.
