For the second year in a row, Dan Sultan, Children’s Ground, and Fender® Music Australia are partnering to raise funds and awareness during NAIDOC Week, an event to celebrate and recognise the history, culture and achievements of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.
NAIDOC Week is an opportunity for all Australians to learn about First Nations cultures and histories and participate in celebrations of the oldest, continuous living cultures on earth. In 2021, the Fender guitar art pieces created by Aboriginal artists Otis Carey and Niah McLeod raised $20,000, which helped to support the new Children's Ground music program.
This year’s artists include Kiya Watt, an artist and advocate from Noongar Country in Western Australia and Kirli Saunders, New South Wales Aboriginal Woman of the Year in 2020 who was recently awarded an OAM for her incredible range of work.
