'I had the biggest grin on my face': NATSIAA finalists announced

Kamilaroi/Gamilaraay artist Dennis Golding couldn’t wait to tell his family when he learnt he was a finalist for the 2021 National Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Art Awards.
Mr Golding is one of 65 First Nations artists in the running for prizes presented by the Museum and Art Gallery of the Northern Territory.
“I had the biggest grin on my face the whole day," he said.
 At the centre of his work submitted for the awards is his early life growing up in Redfern's 'Block'.
Like many other Aboriginal families, Mr Golding's grandparents had to adjust to the experience of urban living after moving to Sydney from the country for a better education and work opportunities.
