Australia: Indigenous Visual Arts Industry Support Program 105SHARES The Australian Government, Department of Infrastructure, Transport, Regional Development and Communications is seeking applications for its Indigenous Visual Arts Industry Support program to help fund the operations of around 80 Indigenous-owned art centres, and a number of art fairs, regional hubs and industry service organisations that are at the heart of Australia’s world-famous Indigenous visual art movement. The Indigenous Visual Arts Industry Support (IVAIS) program supports a professional, viable and ethical Indigenous visual arts industry with strong participation by Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people. Some of Australia’s most dynamic visual art is produced in Indigenous art centres, which enable artists to create new art, earn income, develop professional skills and connect to the art market.
