APY Art Centre Collective

In reply to the Hon. T.A. FRANKS ().20 February 2024).

The Hon. K.J. MAHER (Minister for Aboriginal Affairs, Attorney-General, Minister for Industrial Relations and Public Sector): The Minister for Arts has advised:

We are committed to supporting Aboriginal artists across South Australia to share their art with the world and ensuring their cultural heritage is respected and that culturally safe workplace practices are in place.

It's been a very tough time for the industry and it's important to remember that there were no suggestions that artists were at fault. As the review has been completed and referrals have been made, I trust that the industry can move forward. It has a very bright future and our government will continue to support First Nations artists to share their art with the world.
