"It's a giant step forward for Indigenous Textiles, since UFLA UPLA National Indigenous Textiles Forum as part of CIAF Presents in 2013 to 2021 authentic Indigenous textiles being made available from artists in the Far North trajectory....priceless!" (Lynelle Flinders)

 

 

Of the North, For the North

We work to support artists achieve their aspirations. Artists set their prices and we add a standard service and marketing commission - this supports our not-for-profit programs and allows us to continually turn over the highest-quality artistic products.

Most artworks are one-offs and completely original in the iconic style of that artist; with the exception of intaglio and relief prints, which the organisation is renowned for. Check out our selection of limited-edition fine art printmaking.

Over 95% of the artists we support are from North Queensland. We work with both independent artists and those represented by commercial dealers and art centres.
