Engaging young people at Gunbalanya holiday program
The Gunbalanya Community recently had a 2 week school holiday break so West Arnhem Regional Council's Youth Sport and Recreation team facilitated lots of sport activities, a swim at the pool, youth centre activities, tie-dye, slime making, a disco and a swim at the waterfall.
A highlight was working with Injalak Arts so young people got to experience being a professional artist.
Youth and kids got paid a $20 voucher for the shop for their artwork. It is for a special screen print project.
The next step will be for artists to screen print all their works together on fabric.
Overall, it was a great holiday program which engaged school aged children and encouraged the next generation of artists.
Thanks to Adjumarllarl for helping with swimming.
