Supporting Australia’s world renowned Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander artists
The Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander arts industry is receiving much needed support, with the Morrison Government announcing an extra $5.7 million in funding for the Indigenous Visual Arts industry Support (IVAIS) program.
This is part of more than $38 million that will be shared by more than 90 Indigenous visual art organisations across Australia, which is vital to support the Indigenous visual arts industry to grow and deliver strong commercial outcomes for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander artists.
