Register now and be ready at 9am for the opening of one of the greatest Aboriginal online art markets in Australia, with art from over twenty communities available online. Attracting over 15,000 visitors in 2021, it pays to get in early.
Starting Friday, May 27 until Sunday, May 29 and held entirely online, this is your chance to ethically support artists from all over our vast state and purchase stunning original artworks. New works will be added throughout the three-day event so make sure you pop online to view the newly added pieces. With 24 art centres and 5 independent artists included, there's a huge volume and variety of paintings, textiles, carved artefacts, weavings, homewares, clothing, jewellery and more to choose from, with 100% of all sales revenue returned directly to the artists.
