Congratulations to Dylan Sarra on his selection as a finalist in the 2024 Telstra National Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Art Award.
The Telstra National Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Art Awards (Telstra NATSIAA) is the longest running and most prestigious Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Art Award.
The awards and exhibition are held at the Museum and Art Gallery of the NT in Darwin. This year 72 finalists were selected, with the award ceremony and announcement of winners will be held on Friday 9th August 2024.
Dylan Sarra is a Taribelang/Gooreng Gooreng artist from the Central Queensland region and currently lives in Meanjin, Brisbane.
With a focus on exploring identity and place, Sarra uses a range of disciplines such as print, digital works and sculpture to gently persuade an audience into humanising the Indigenous experience.
Sarra's artistic journey is deeply entwined with the transformative power of Indigenous art and how it contributes to written language.
Mitchell Fine Art will hold a solo exhibition of Dylan's works from 29 October 2024.
