Background
ANKAAA
is the peak advocacy and
support agency for Indigenous arts in the Top End of Australia. It represents over 4,500 artists from 43 Art
Centres located in the
Tiwi
Islands
,
Darwin
, Katherine,
Kimberley
and
Arnhem
Land
regions.
ANKAAA
assists members, Art and Craft Centre
governing bodies and staff by providing services including advocacy, lobbying,
consultation, resourcing, referral, and promotion and undertaking other
activities to benefit artists and the sector.
ANKAAA
members are Aboriginal owned and operated Art Centres which produce a large
proportion of Aboriginal fine art and craft sold in
Australia
and internationally. Art Centres function as an important focus
point for strengthening cultural identity and practice in many
communities. Typically, they are managed
by a director/manager who is accountable to an executive management committee
comprised of Indigenous community members. Art Centres are multicultural and multilingual organisations, and
significant cultural differences exist across the ANKAAA membership area. Art Centres are located in remote areas where
small teams of staff have extensive management responsibilities and limited
access to any training and support services. They operate in unique work environments which require dedicated service
provision and education by consultants and with relevant experience and
expertise.
