ACTIVATE - DARWIN PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM

In August 2022, Ku Arts supported the travel of 9 artists from regional and remote communities across South Australia to attend and participate in industry events, exhibitions, workshops and presentations during Darwin's art festival season. Throughout the 5-day professional development trip participants engaged with Aboriginal arts industry leaders and innovators from across Australia.

Participants attended the opening of the National Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Art Awards (NATSIAA’s) and the Darwin Aboriginal Art Fair (DAAF), as well as exhibitions from Salon Art Projects and the National Indigenous Music Awards (NIMAs). Participants also participated in DAAF creative masterclasses as well as connected with artists from communities across the country and built networks of curators, gallerists and industry professionals.
