Queensland’s leading Aboriginal art collective, proppaNOW was set up in Meanjin/Brisbane in 2003 to give urban-based Aboriginal artists a voice. They present a unique and controversial perspective of black Australia which is sometimes confronting and always thought-provoking. Current members include Vernon Ah Kee, Tony Albert, Richard Bell, Megan Cope, Jennifer Herd, and Gordon Hookey who are all established artists and well respected in their own right. The late founding member Laurie Nilsen is today represented by his daughter, Lily Eather. Collectively, they are an Australian success story.
