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.
