THIS IS HOW WE MAKE ART | Artist Tins

Blacktown Arts presents an innovative program inspired by the cultural and physical landscape of Blacktown.

But how do we make art?

We asked out artists to share their processes, experiences and motivations.

Printed on a series of cards and stacked in tins, the first series is available at The Leo Kelly Blacktown Arts Centre.

Keep your tin and add to your collection as we feature new artists and their insights.

Artists in this first series include Aunty Daisy and Aunty Jenny from Baabayn Aboriginal Corporation, Darren Bell, Marnie Palomares, Latai Taumoepeau, Leo Tanoi, Jason Wing, Marikit Santiago, Garry Trinh, Nazanin Marashian, Sarah Dahia, Eric Fortaleza, Katia Molino and Jody Graham.
