STRONG ARTS PROGRAM, COOBER PEDY

Ku Arts delivered the Strong Arts Program in Coober Pedy in November 2022. The Strong Arts Program provided opportunities for First Nation artists to access information and build knowledge and confidence about navigating the art world.

Over four days, artists participated in discussions with Arts Law, Indigenous Art Code, Copyright Agency, and Ku Arts, around the themes of intellectual property, wills, contracts, and general rights of artists.

Running concurrently with discussions and one-on-one consultations, artists participated in ceramic workshops delivered by Adelaide-based ceramist Ashlee Hopkins. Artists learned the fundamental skills of hand-building objects using clay and later added colour and designs to their forms.
