We collaborate exclusively with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander artists, art centres and businesses. Our goal is to support them in their artistic, creative and cultural endeavours with the goal of creating a self-sustaining and self-determining Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander retail and arts industry.
Our art and products are sourced from Aboriginal-owned businesses and Art Centers. Suppliers are carefully vetted to ensure their authenticity and businesses are certified by the Indigenous Art Code.
We will provide you with a certificate of authenticity with art purchases and relevant product information with other purchases. -
We support many amazing independent artists, art centres and businesses and love to promote them!
Our model of working isn’t about representation of a small stable of artists but rather a growing hub and an artistic community.
You can find a lot of information as you navigate our website. Check out the Artists and Brands pages. We often link to their websites so you can explore further. -
