Brilliant news…!!

Desart is feeling incredibly proud today as we celebrate Hetti Perkins on her recognition with the Creative Australia First Nations Arts and Culture Award, Red Ochre Award for Lifetime Achievement in Cultural Advocacy and Leadership. ✨

A proud Arrernte and Kalkadoon woman and one of this country’s most respected cultural leaders, Hetti has spent decades championing First Nations artists, art centres and communities with courage, cultural authority, truth-telling and deep commitment to Country.

As Head Curator of Desert Mob, Hetti has helped ensure Central Australian desert artists remain front and centre in the national story of art and culture. As Hetti says, “Art centres are the last frontier — holding the line for culture, community and Country. Our network of art centres in this country is unique in the world, safeguarding a way of life for future generations."

We warmly congratulate Hetti and all the outstanding recipients of this year’s First Nations Arts and Culture Awards, and honour the strength, innovation and excellence they bring to First Nations arts and culture.

Desart also acknowledges the other recipients these prestigious awards:

This cannot be achieved without financial support. So … a huge thank you to our 4 sponsors : The Fat Goose Killcare, Ray White Killcare, Central Coast Newspapers & .killcare ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Thank you to WTKCA for the support in the “ Talking Turkey” and all the “Talking Turkey” distributors. Our local radio stations that promoted us, fabulous CCN .news & Coast Publishing & 🙏🏻

All local businesses that pushed and promoted the trail 🙏🏻🙏🏻. Without a doubt the area was “buzzing” and we had visitors that travelled from further afield.

👏Well done and congrats to all the artists for opening up their homes, studios & garages. So much team work for an event like this - thank you artists for all your help in the different areas. For the socials and media coverage - Liana , Instagram , Facebook Leanne Koppen 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻.

A huge thanks 💐 to graphic designer Mary Simpson for the design work & trail map as it is really the core part of the trail 🚩🚩Thanks Alan for the banner & map distribution too

Finally to our indefatigable and amazing leader … a big thank you 💐💐and congrats to Leanne Koppen for all your voluntary countless hours of work, keeping us all in check, steering the ship and running another outstanding trail. What a success 🙏🏻💐. Thank you from all of us!! It has gained a lot of momentum and traction far beyond the area. Which is super exciting for our local creatives and art loving audience 🙏🏻♥️. Most certainly it continues to “put us on the map” and it is also a celebration of this spectacular part of the Central Coast.
