About the company
Established by creatives, curators and business owners, Aboriginal Art Co is a confluence of culture, art and commerce.
Aboriginal Art Co is a not-for-profit company established in July 2019. As a Registered Charity and listed on the Register Of Cultural Organisations, we are committed to creating social impacts for artists and their communities through the promotion of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander arts.
Driven by a strong sense of ethics and sustainability with expert curation that recognises 60,000+ years of continuous artistic expression, Aboriginal Art Co is building a unique and enduring brand.
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!
Our Story, Our Promise
Aboriginal Art Co’s unique approach respects cultural protocols whilst harnessing appropriate commercial opportunities.
As blackfellas, we are community-minded, conscious of our complex histories and sensitive to issues that affect Aboriginal communities across the country. We don’t pretend to know everything but our curiosity and desire to learn and grow means we’ll always keep our eyes open on this journey.
