This National Reconciliation Week, we’re reflecting on this year’s theme, All In. It's a call for all of us to commit wholeheartedly to reconciliation, every day.
At LMAG, that means recognising the strength and leadership of our partners in the local Wiradyuri community, and understanding that reconciliation isn't something they should have to carry alone.

Reconciliation doesn't happen from the sidelines.
It takes all of us.

Today we remember the Stolen Generations, and acknowledge the strength of survivors, families and communities. We’re resharing this image of the Leeton Tower lit in purple as a small act of recognition and remembrance.
Thanks to Illuminart for helping make it possible.

Tonight, the Leeton Water Tower and Roxy windows are lit purple to recognise .

National Sorry Day is held on 26 May each year to acknowledge Stolen Generations survivors, their families, and communities, as well as the ongoing impacts of past government policies.

Purple was chosen by Stolen Generations survivors as a colour of resilience, strength, and healing. It is represented in the native purple hibiscus, also known as the desert rose.

This year’s theme, From Sorry to Action, reminds us that acknowledgement must be matched by meaningful change.

Leeton Shire Council acknowledges the Wiradyuri people, the Traditional Custodians of the land on which we live and work and pays respect to Elders past and present.

Thank you to Illuminart for helping make this recognition possible.

A lovely moment between Michelle Fletcher and Pat Faulkner as A Walk With Us came together at Leeton Museum and Art Gallery.

Now open, the exhibition brings together birds, flowers and natural settings observed with care, colour and attention. If you haven’t visited yet, we would love to welcome you in for a look.

International Museum Day. A chance to think about museums not just as buildings, but as places where stories are kept, shared and revisited. At LMAG, that starts with Leeton.

Need a little colour this week? Start here. 🎨 Only a few days left to see the Penny Paniz Acquisitive Arts Exhibition before it closes on Friday, 9 May. With 160 works across two galleries and a People’s Prize you can keep voting in, there’s every reason to come in before it wraps up.
If it’s been sitting on your “must get there” list, this is your nudge.

Creative work close to home. Take a look behind the scenes. Filmed locally on Wiradyuri Country, it's exciting to see a project of this scale and care taking shape in our region.

Nganhayung Galingabangbur (Our Children) is produced by Miil Miil Productions in association with the Leeton and District Local Aboriginal Land Council, Aboriginal Languages Trust, Birdyulang Animations and Western Riverina Arts, with support from Create NSW and Leeton Shire Council

"I seem to have developed a soft spot for Kathy Little’s abstracts. I bought one from the 2024 Penny Paniz Acquisitive Arts Exhibition and it still hangs above my desk. 'More Than We Can Imagine' felt like a natural staff pick for me. I love the way her work leaves room to think, feel and notice something different each time."

At dawn, our community paused to remember.
A few moments from this morning’s Dawn Service, and the projection seen in the early hours. Lest we forget.
