Artwork Storyline
The artwork “Strong Foundation, Empowered Community” is a visual representation of the holistic collaboration of Big Yellow Umbrella (BYU) working in partnership with key community partners, agencies and local organisations to improve better outcomes for the local community.
The colours applied within the artwork compliment the Big Yellow Umbrella branding. Each element within the artwork has significant meaning, blending to form the overall artwork story.
Founders
Big Yellow Umbrella (formerly known as Camden Community Connections) was established by 6 local women (represented at the centre of the artwork) who identified a gap in the lack of community services for families within the region and with this in mind they founded Camden Community Connections now known as Big Yellow Umbrella.
Umbrella
At the centre of the artwork features the Big Yellow Umbrella which represents the overarching of all services and community that fall under its cover as a whole.
