Regional Human Services provider Kirinari is proud to announce an exciting opportunity for First Nations artists to design a signature artwork that will represent Kirinari’s First Nations story, identity and commitment to inclusion, respect and cultural connection.
This project forms a key part of Kirinari’s Reconciliation journey, supporting the development of its Reconciliation Action Plan (RAP) in partnership with Reconciliation Australia. The commissioned artwork will be a central element of Kirinari’s First Nations brand identity and will feature prominently across a wide range of cultural and branding materials
“Reconciliation is a shared responsibility, and at Kirinari, we believe in taking meaningful steps to create lasting change,” said Kirinari CEO Diane Lynch.
“This artwork will not only represent our commitment to cultural respect and inclusion but will also stand as a symbol of partnership and learning.”
The commissioned piece should visually represent the meaning and intent of ‘Kirinari’ (a place of learning) while reflecting themes of support, connection, respect and community.
Artists are encouraged to incorporate cultural authenticity and connection to Country, and ensure the design is adaptable for use across multiple mediums.
“At Kirinari, reconciliation is about more than words; it’s about meaningful action and shared responsibility,” said Kirinari RAP Project Lead, Michelle Stocks.
“This artwork will be a powerful symbol of our commitment to cultural respect and inclusion.”
The tender is open to all First Nations artists from 9 February 2026 until 5 pm on 2 March 2026.
Kirinari is excited to invite tender applications for a signature artwork that will represent our First Nations story, identity, and commitment to inclusion, respect, and cultural connection.
