The 26th Telstra National Aboriginal & Torres Strait Islander Art Award will Exhibit from Friday 14 August to Sunday 25 October 2009.
Open to all adult Aboriginal & Torres Strait Islander artists, this award aims to showcase the very best Australian Indigenous art from around the country.
The Award was established in 1984 as the National Aboriginal Art Award by the Museum & Art Gallery of the Northern Territory. The aim of the Award is to recognise the important contribution made by Indigenous artists and to promote appreciation and understanding of the quality and diversity of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander art from regional and urban based Indigenous artists throughout Australia, working in traditional and contemporary media.
The Award is an important showcase for both established and emerging artists and has come to be regarded as the premier national event in the Australian Indigenous art calendar.
While not a formal Gallery, there are some excellent art works displayed here. Guided tours are available on Saturdays, bookings essential. 89461425 | ![]() |
