What We Do

Purpose

We exist to provide authentic Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander art and products where the creators are in control.

With fake and inauthentic Aboriginal art and souvenirs flooding the industry, artists and communities haven’t been seeing the fruits of their labour for decades.

So, we’ve decided to change things for the better.

Aboriginal Art Co. provides a platform for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities to have agency over their art and culture while giving consumers a clear ethical choice in how they buy it.

This way, we all win!
