Boomalli Aboriginal Artists Co-operative respectfully acknowledges and honours the significant work and contribution of Dr Bronwyn Bancroft AM, following 17 years of dedicated leadership, guidance and service to the organisation on her resignation.
As a respected Bundjalung Elder and founding Member of Boomalli, Bronwyn has played an important role in the organisation’s history, resilience and growth. Her vision, advocacy and unwavering commitment have helped ensure that Boomalli remains a strong, enduring and culturally important home for Aboriginal artists across New South Wales.
Over many years, Bronwyn continued to provide strategic guidance, mentor artists and staff, and contribute countless hours to the preparation of successful grant applications that secured significant funding for the organisation. Her work helped strengthen Boomalli’s foundations and supported its growth into the organisation it is today.
Bronwyn has also been a tireless advocate for artists’ rights, particularly in the areas of copyright and Indigenous Cultural and Intellectual Property. Through her leadership, advocacy and knowledge-sharing, she has helped artists and staff understand their rights, protect their cultural knowledge and maintain authority and control over their creative work. On behalf of Boomalli, thank you Bronwyn, for your remarkable service, leadership and enduring commitment to Boomalli.—
