STRONG ARTS PROGRAM, PORT AUGUSTA

The Ku Arts: Strong Arts Program was delivered in Port Augusta in June 2021, an event for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander artists and cultural leaders who work independently in regional SA communities, and those who wish to learn more about artist rights, opportunities, and how to navigate the art world.

Over two days artists heard from industry professionals and had the opportunity to attend one-on-one consultations.

Due to COVID-19 travel restrictions, many of the presenting organisations were unable to attend in person and presented via zoom.

Industry organisations included: Ku Arts, Indigenous Art Code, National Association of the Visual Arts (NAVA), Arts Law, Copyright Agency, Guildhouse, Country Arts South Australia and Port Pirie Regional Art Gallery.

“I have learnt and gained so much information about legal rights. This is a forum that should have been around a long time ago. To protect artists work and themselves.” Participant feedback.
