Located on a prominent wall within the entrance of the Centre, this exhibition space aims to: Celebrate and champion the work of a local artist; Promote awareness and appreciation of our creative communities; and ensure that our public spaces are stimulating and engaging for visitors. Yawa which means swim, or to swim, is a local Indigenous word endorsed by the Bunurong / Boon Wurrung Traditional Owners, which draws on a local language that reflects over 40,000 years of history. The successful artist will develop work that draws inspiration from the Mornington Peninsula, its rich culture and heritage, expansive natural environment and local stories.
