'Each year, we're inspired by the quality, creativity and bold storytelling that artists bring to the Canning Art Awards,' Mr Hall said. 'This event gives local and emerging artists, especially our young people, the opportunity to present their work in a professional gallery setting, gain public exposure, and potentially take home well-deserved recognition and prize money.' All entries will be exhibited at Riverton Library and professionally curated at the Canning Arts Award opening night on September 26. The exhibition will be open for public viewing during library opening hours, from September 27 to October 4.

Clair Helen Parker named fashion designer of the year at 2025 National Indigenous Fashion Awards
Clair Helen Parker has a vivid memory of sitting on her sister's couch during school holidays as a child. Her older sibling had just bought a television, complete with Foxtel, for her Tiwi Islands home, and when Parker turned it on, she landed on the Fashion Channel. The Tiwi woman remembers being immediately transfixed by the models parading down a catwalk in couture. At that moment, she made a promise to herself: "One day I'm going to make those clothes, especially for people like me." Earlier tonight, on Larrakia Country in Darwin, Parker was named fashion designer of the year at the sixth National Indigenous Fashion Awards (NIFA). "I can't believe I actually did what I set out to do," says the Boorloo/Perth-based designer behind eponymous label, Clair Helen. "The fashion industry can be tough — demanding, tiring and sometimes overwhelming. There have been moments where I wanted to give up." But she says the award is a motivating force; signalling the beginning of a new and bigger chapter. Parker was one of five First Nations designers up for the honour, with previous recipients including Gunggandji woman Simone Arnol, and Wiradjuri, Gangulu and Yorta Yorta woman Lillardia Briggs-Houston. The accolade honours a commitment to originality and cultural storytelling, as well as commercial success. Parker, who became the first Aboriginal woman to graduate from the prestigious Whitehouse Institute of Design in 2016, submitted a collection entitled 'Veins' as part of her nomination for the Fashion Design Award. She initially launched the designs at Melbourne Fashion Week in 2023. Like much of her work, it's inspired by her childhood and tells the story of the roots of her land. Parker's bold and expressive designs frequently experiment with fluid silhouettes, symbolic prints and vibrant colour, and feature embroidered and hand-painted elements. "Not many people have walked the path I've walked, so this label is a window into my journey, my identity, my story and my growth," Parker says. "I have so many vivid memories [growing up in the NT] — building bridges near the mangroves with cousins, going hunting and fishing with family, and seeing crocodiles, which are my totem. "Traditional dance, songs, family connection and nature — those are the stories I like to weave into my pieces. "Whether I'm creating a piece that speaks to resistance, reclamation, or representation, activism is always present in my work — sometimes loudly, sometimes in quieter, symbolic ways." This is exactly what impressed the judging panel. "Clair Helen's connection to Indigenous elements and the transformative nature of wearable art radiates through every piece she creates," NIFA judge Jessica Poynter said. "That sentiment carries through in the textiles, stories, and spirit of her work, reminding us that fashion can be a living canvas of identity and heritage." Supported by Indigenous Fashion Projects, the NIFAs are part of a week of events that bring First Nations textiles, fashion and art together for the Country to Couture showcase, now in its 10th year, followed by the Darwin Aboriginal Art Fair, on August 7-10. Intended to celebrate clothing as cultural expression, the NIFAs are unlike any other fashion week in Australia. From a shortlist of 38 finalists, winners were awarded across seven categories, from the Fashion Design Award that Parker took home, to the Cecilia Cubillo Young Achiever Award that went to Bununggu and Warraingu woman Cindy Rostron.

Aussie music legend Col Joye dies aged 89
Australian music legend Col Joye has died aged 89. Colin Frederick Jacobsen AM - better known as Col Joye - was most famous for his role as the frontman of Col Joye and the Joy Boys, and for his 'discovery' of iconic Australian band the Bee Gees. He was the first Aussie pop star to hit number 1 on local charts with the single 'Bye Bye Baby' in 1959, which he performed with backing vocals from The Sapphires, the first all-female, all-First Nations singing group in Australian history. Joye would go on to rack up another three top 10 hits with the Joy Boys throughout the early 1960s, and went on to open ATA Studios at Glebe in inner Sydney. In 1963, Joye happened across a group of young performers from Redcliffe calling themselves the Bee Gees, who at the time were touring Queensland resorts to make ends meet. After parting ways with the group - who would of course go on to achieve international fame - Joye continued to make music, and even performed alongside Little Pattie for troops stationed in Vietnam in 1966. As he performed at the Australian base in Nui Dat, the infamous Battle of Long Tan began less than 10km away. Joye produced his final hit - a country record called 'Heaven is my Woman's Love' in 1973. Despite suffering numerous injuries in 1990 after falling six metres while pruning a neighbour's tree, Joye recovered and continued touring in 1998. In his retirement, Joye donated more than 1200 items to the National Film and Sound Archive. More to come. Originally published as Aussie music legend Col Joye dies aged 89
