RAP plan: Feature Aboriginal Art in Your Public Spaces
Imagine this: drinking fountains don’t need to be plain Janes. Your community drinking fountain can feature authentic Aboriginal Art. Why not make a new drinking water station in your local park, adorned with an Indigenous design, part of your RAP plan?
Honour the Traditional Owners of the Land:
Water is Life. Water is sacred in Aboriginal cultures. Showcase Aboriginal Art on a drinking fountain, and acknowledge their deep connection to this precious resource.
Make Every Sip into a Learning Moment:
Turn the humble drinking fountain into a conversation starter. And spark curiosity about your local Aboriginal people and their stories.
Walk the Reconciliation Talk:
This initiative is a powerful addition to your Council’s Reconciliation Action Plan (RAP). And it offers the potential to foster partnerships and opportunities with Aboriginal communities.
Team up with Local Talent:
Partner with an Aboriginal artist or art center. Their designs will reflect your area’s unique stories and water connection.
Built to Last, Built to Inspire:
Civiq fountains are made with high-quality, durable materials that withstand the elements. A clear protective anti-graffiti and UV-coating ensures these artworks stand the test of time.
Celebrate Reconciliation Week Together:
Unveil the artwork with a public ceremony. Acknowledge the artist and the significance of this step in your reconciliation journey.
Pave the way for a more reconciled future
Incorporate Aboriginal art on your community drinking fountain. It’s how your council transforms them into landmarks that quench thirst, ignite cultural connection, and pave the way for a more reconciled future. Are you ready to turn these everyday objects into extraordinary opportunities for respect, education, and community pride?
