The exhibition will feature artworks by event organisers, Stuart Hearn and Phillip Bell from the Yorta Yorta Nation.
“The artworks are a collection of our cultural history, our childhood history and events from past and present,” Mr Hearn said.
“People coming can expect a cultural experience of the arts and sculptures inspired by the Murray,” Mr Bell said.
Mr Hearn and Mr Bell are completing their Certificate III in Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Cultural Arts and are holding the exhibition as part of their course.
The exhibition is being run by Bendigo TAFE’s Indigenous Education Centre.
Previous COVID-19 restrictions and density limits resulted in the exhibition being postponed.
“We have worked tirelessly to finally be able to share with Echuca these pieces,” Mr Hearn said.
Bendigo TAFE chief executive officer Sally Curtain said she was proud of the students, who had worked incredibly hard to get this exhibition off the ground.
“It’s been a challenging year for our students at Bendigo TAFE,” Ms Curtain said.
“We are delighted to come together and enjoy their fantastic artwork.”
