Artwork imagery - Education usage.

The University of Melbourne’s Ngarrngga Program has attained permissions from artists and communities for use of artwork imagery in Ngarrngga’s online education resources.

For artwork imagery supplied by The Potter Museum of Art 2025 landmark exhibition 65,000 Years: A Short History of Australian Art, the broad terms of use are noted in an abridged version of the Education usage agreement below. For more details about the terms of this agreement, contact the ngarrngga-team@unimelb.edu.au.

Permitted use of artworks

• Artwork content embedded in Ngarrngga educational resources is freely available for use by Australian schools (and University of Melbourne staff and students) for online viewing, downloading and printing for teaching and learning purposes for the duration of the Ngarrngga project via its website until 2030.

• Artwork content can be used in presentation materials to showcase the resources in education contexts.

• Artwork content can be discussed and connected to the Australian Curriculum, for teachers to showcase in their schools and classrooms, and the University of Melbourne curriculum, for tertiary teachers to utilise in their lectures, tutorials and online learning platforms.

Re-use terms

Attribution must be given to the creator/artist.

The full description of the citation (as presented in the Ngarrngga materials) is to be used.

A link to the usage terms (this page) is to be included in the attribution byline.

Artwork imagery/content is to be used for education purposes in un-adapted form only, i.e. no derivatives or adaptations of the work are permitted.

Indigenous Cultural and Intellectual Property

Ownership and permission reside with the artist/community, and permission can be revoked at any time. Feedback on how artworks are used is welcomed from artists/owners/communities of origin to: ngarrngga-team@unimelb.edu.au.

Any cultural material identified by the artist or community is to be represented as included in the educational resources.

Ngarrngga is committed to supporting teachers and schools in understanding and respecting Indigenous Cultural and Intellectual Property (ICIP) throughout this content. While we aim to guide best practice, the way these resources are ultimately used within schools and the University of Melbourne is something we cannot fully oversee.

We recognise cultural circumstances may evolve, and we are committed to working alongside artists and communities to ensure the use of these resources continues to feel respectful, collaborative, and mutually supported over time.

All materials are correct as of January 2026.
