Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Arts

We assist Indigenous people to claim, control and enhance their cultural inheritance by funding the development and promotion of traditional and contemporary arts practices – and new forms of cultural expression – by Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people who practice any artform and live in urban, regional and remote areas.
