Experience community life by the ocean through the works of First Nations artists in Coomaditchie: The Art of Place at the Museum of Sydney. These loving and lyrical artworks, which include paintings, ceramics and screen-prints, speak of life in and around the settlement of Coomaditchie, its history, ecology and local Dreaming stories.
The exhibition commemorates the Coomaditchie United Aboriginal Corporation’s 30th anniversary, which occurred in 1993.

Today, the Coomaditchie artists’ work can be found throughout the Illawarra, including community areas, buildings, landscapes, roadways, and galleries. A collection of images demonstrates the depth and beauty of their contributions to
