2024 APRON PROJECT
Since February 2015 The Apron Project has been raising funds for women and children escaping domestic and family violence. Over 200 artists from around the world have contributed more than 300 stitched, painted and beaded aprons, raising more than AUD80,000.00.
The Apron Project Auction is Open
View the aprons online. Bid and Give Now to support the crticial work of the Tangentyere Women’s Family Safety Group.
Our aim is to raise $20,000.00 which we hope to match with a Lions Australia Grant.
Sister Up: The Apron Project at Wallarobba Art and Cultural Centre
As part of Sydney Craft Week, the aprons were showcased at the beautiful heritage gallery, Wallarobba Art and Cultural Centre. A wonderful week of exchanging stories, connecting with community and acknowledging the critical work of the Tangentyere Women’s Family Safety Group.
*The Aboriginal Arrernte (pronounced arrunda) people are the traditional custodians of Alice Springs and the surrounding region. Mparntwe (pronounced m’barn-twa) is the Arrernte name of Alice Springs.
Sister
This theme has been sitting with my heart for a while now and when I was out in Mparntwe*, I was fortunate to spend time with the Tangentyere Women’s Family Safety Group. They are Sisters, Tiddas, Aunties and they are committed to being a voice and taking action on Family and Domestic Violence issues.
You are encouraged to present aprons that are vibrant, that uplift, create connection and acknowledge all the women who care, love and stand for us – Our Sisters. I hope you will join me in this very special 2023 Apron Project.
