We pay our respects to the Dharawal people who are the traditional custodians of the land, whose deepening connection to culture and customs have cared for this country for over 60,000 years. We acknowledge Elders past, present and emerging for their immense spiritual connection to place which was never ceded. Dharawal land has always been recognised as a meeting place for people from other lands, and in this spirit, we respectfully continue this tradition through the bringing together of our communities through arts and culture. Always was and Always will be Aboriginal land.

In 2023, Campbelltown Arts Centre launches the artist- and community-led digital project Collective Knowledge which draws on community perspectives and stories in response to artworks in the Collection.
