Arts North West are delighted to receive funding from the Federal Government to support and foster Aboriginal artists in the New England North West by engaging Lorrayne Fishenden and 2 Rivers Pty Ltd to implement the NENW Aboriginal Arts Strategy.

This supports strong participation by Aboriginal artists in a professional, sustainable visual arts industry including exhibitions, art fairs, professional and skills development through mentoring and workshops, online resource development and networking opportunities. The strategy focuses on training and resources to inform investment and best practice that will result in positive outcomes for the region by strengthening capacities for self-determination, transmission of culture to future generations and increasing sustainable career pathways through arts and cultural pursuits.

"We are thrilled that this funding will allow us to get back out there and reengage with the incredible Aboriginal artists in the New England North West. We will be focusing on creating economic outcomes for visual artists through a series of different opportunities, designed around the needs and the wants of our community." said Lorrayne Fishenden, 2 Rivers Pty Ltd Managing Director.
