About IACA
We support culturally strong best practice Indigenous art enterprises.
The Indigenous Art Centre Alliance (IACA) is the peak body and support agency for the Indigenous Art Centres of far north Queensland and the Torres Strait. Established in 2011, IACA advocates for and strives to improve the viability of Indigenous arts enterprises.
IACA delivers support programs and advice, providing logistical services, resources, organisational and business development including training. IACA functions as a communication and referral conduit between Art Centres and stakeholders, fostering opportunities for market, promotion, and partnerships.
OUR WORK
IACA programs and services support Indigenous Art Centres with:
- Professional development that builds artist and arts worker skills
- Programs that improve the viability of Indigenous arts enterprises
- Programs that increase the supply and reach of quality arts and cultural products
- Programs that deepen audience engagement and expand markets and connections
- Recognition and marketing of Queensland’s Indigenous art locally, nationally and internationally
- Increasing ongoing employment opportunities for Indigenous artists and arts workers
- Increased professional and business (including strategic, governance, financial and accountability) development for IAC managers, management committees and boards.
Art Centres are places of artistic and cultural expression, provide economic, employment and training opportunities, support the maintenance and transference of culture and create wellbeing and community pride.
