At this year’s Mining Emergency Response Competition Awards Evening, attendees will have the rare opportunity to secure a truly significant piece of cultural and industry history - an exclusive large-scale artwork created for the MERC auction by acclaimed Indigenous artist Kevin Bynder.
As a proud supporter and sponsor of for 15 years, we are honoured to help celebrate this milestone through a commission that reflects the scale, importance, and enduring impact of this event within the resources sector.
This bespoke artwork will honour MERC’s legacy and will stand as a powerful visual narrative of the values that define our industry: resilience, leadership, unity, and an unwavering commitment to community safety.
Kevin’s interpretation elevates the MERC story into an inspiring, executive-level centrepiece - the kind of statement artwork that will command attention in a corporate foyer, boardroom, or executive space.
More than art, this piece represents:
- A legacy of people and partnerships
- The evolution of safety and performance
- The collective strength of our industry
- A future driven by purpose and progress
We invite the mining leaders and executives who are joining us on Sunday evening as this extraordinary artwork is unveiled and auctioned. This is a rare opportunity to secure a landmark piece that embodies the spirit of MERC — past, present, and future — and to bring a symbol of industry excellence into your organisation.
