La Trobe University Shepparton has unveiled its first exhibition in a newly dedicated gallery space, featuring artwork by children from Lulla’s Children and Family Centre.

Around 20 preschoolers collaborated on Bowarring: Bloom on Trees, a vibrant display celebrating the next generation of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people in Shepparton. The artwork reflects this year’s NAIDOC Week theme: The Next Generation – Strength, Vision & Legacy, highlighting the importance of aspiration and community.

Families joined their young artists for an opening event on July 4, ahead of NAIDOC Week. The exhibition is open to the public at La Trobe Shepparton until the end of August.
