IWC Reconciliation Art Project 2025

IWC Reconciliation Art Project 2025
National Reconciliation Week
Entries Close: April 27, 2025, at midday
The IWC Reconciliation Art Project returns for 2025, inviting young artists across Bundaberg from Prep to Year 6 to showcase their creativity and share their thoughts on reconciliation. Whether your passion is drawing, painting, digital art, or mixed media, this project is an incredible opportunity to use your talent to create a meaningful piece inspired by the theme ‘Bridging Now to Next’ (#NRW2025).
Aligning with National Reconciliation Week, which runs from May 27 to June 3, 2025, the IWC Reconciliation Art Project aims to encourage young people to explore the concept of reconciliation through their own artistic lens. This year’s theme highlights the importance of building connections, understanding the past, and working together for a better future. Artworks submitted to the project will have the chance to be featured in IWC’s Reconciliation Through Art Exhibition, where creativity and storytelling come together to inspire change.
