Indigenous Visual Arts Industry Support Program - 2023-24 and 2024-25

The IVAIS program is part of the First Nations First pillar in the Australian Government’s landmark National Cultural Policy - Revive: a place for every story, a story for every place. The Australian Government has committed to continue investing in First Nations art centres and pivotal industry organisations through the IVAIS program to benefit First Nations communities.

Funding will be provided to organisations for activities that best contribute to delivery of the following Program outcomes:   

1. a professional, viable and ethical Indigenous visual arts industry that features strong participation and provides economic opportunities for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people
2. the continued production, exhibition, critique, purchase and collection of Indigenous visual art.
