Remote art centres are central to the Indigenous contemporary art industry. They typically have a white art centre manager and other staff overseen by an Indigenous board.
The cancellation of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander community events such as NAIDOC, but the continuation of sporting events, reminds us sport is prioritised over art and culture.
Most Indigenous art works are produced in around 90 Indigenous art centres located in very remote regions. But there are staff and management issues, which can be solved by better VET programs.
