Artist quote
The Home program has not just included the community but has provided the opportunity for community to be part of the planning and delivery. This has an ongoing effect for all students to take home the Wiradjuri culture. It’s not only the culture and arts practice but students also have an opportunity they would not otherwise have had. In the four years I have been involved I have learnt so much from the Home education kit at the Art Gallery of New South Wales and am looking forward to sharing and learning in the future.
— Aunty Lorraine Tye, Wiradjuri Elder, Wagga Wagga
