If you are involved with the Indigenous visual arts sector, we want to hear from you on ways to help the industry grow.
The Australian Government recognises that Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Art is an important way for Indigenous Australians to tell stories, share culture, understand and explore Country and history, build community, and earn money. It also makes a significant contribution to our national identity and economy.
The Government has released a consultation paper on Growing the Indigenous Visual Arts Industry, seeking views from the sector on ways to support the industry to grow, continue to deliver economic opportunities for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander artists and promote ethical dealing.
This will inform the development of an Indigenous Visual Art Action Plan to support Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander visual artists and their cultural and economic interests, expected to be released in 2021.
