Celebrating NATSIAA 2019

The 36th Telstra National Aboriginal and Torres Straight Islander Art Awards (NATSIAA) are nearly here! The winners are announced tomorrow and we're proud and excited many of our Indigenous art centre partners have artists in the running, including Iluwanti Ken from Tjanpi Desert Weavers, winner of the Other Media Award in the 2018 Bluethumb Art Prize. . To celebrate our artists' ongoing success, in this curation there's a gorgeous selection of works from NATSIAA prize winners, finalists and artists working at their leading art centres.
