Aboriginal & Islander Partnerships

We want to see an Australian society where Aboriginal and Islander peoples thrive, exercising self-determination in their cultural and economic lives; where their voices shape the creative experiences that define this place; and where creativity builds genuine connection and cultural respect between all Australians.
INFO
Through genuine partnerships, we bring to life meaningful economic opportunities for Aboriginal and Islander creatives and communities, working together so that the diversity of Aboriginal and Islander culture is respected, stories are valued, and the right to self determination comes first.  

Our programs are developed to create long-term, sustainable development for art centres and independent artists that support increased opportunities for First Nations artists to share culture, earn income from artmaking, and build organisational capacity.

Examples of our current programs and partnerships include the Roebourne Arts Development Program, the Yinhawangka Developing Artist Program in partnership with the Yinhawangka Foundation, the Pilbara Cultural Highway, and ongoing support for remote art centres and cultural organisations.  
“You guys have made me want to become an artsworker. Being with the [artists] has made me feel comfortable and confident.”
