Hockey Art

Why Hockey Art was conceived

• An association with Just Hockey to explore a relationship of selling the art to the public in some form to the benefit of the artists and the program
  
• Workshops in connections With clinics, competitions and special events
  
• Positive reinforcement of the programs goals in the community
  
• Children/adults participate with the view of merging the idea of sport and their own cultural identity
• Bringing the values of merging sport and cultural identity to the public

• Hockey Art has always been one of the most exciting developments of the program and it so continues.
  
• Hockey Art assists in an understanding of culture and sport and delivers it in an unique way. It also brings a further dimension to the program respecting differences in communities and reflecting their differences in our hockey equipment.
  
• The artists are supportive of this project and have produced artwork for the development of this project.
  
• We are looking to take this slowly but it is surprising what interest we are getting to this project.
• We anticipate using Hockey Art at all levels of the program. We intent to display and offer Hockey Art internationally through our community partnerships.
  
• We also anticipate using Hockey Art during community celebrations with a State-wide Hockey Art Competition and at the remote communities like the Karumba Carnival where the schools bring sticks they have painted with a theme and swap them and also there is a contest associated with the Hockey Art.
  
• This project continues to grow and we will look to move forward one step at a time using our philosophy of SMALL STEPS.
  
• We invite you to look at some of the hockey art already produced. Our artists are ready to produce original works for you both on hockey equipment and on canvas with a hockey theme. Remember – part of the proceeds will go to this program so if you support Hockey Art you are supporting this program.
  
• The artists are flexible with what they will produce. If you are interested in purchasing Hockey Art have a look at the Indigenous Catalogue and an original can be ordered contact - Julie.mcneil4@bigpond.com   or   Phone Mobile 0418880147
