About Indigenous Visual Arts Industry Support (IVAIS)

Indigenous Visual Arts Industry Support (IVAIS) will provide approximately $8 million in 2013–14 to Indigenous art centres and allied industry organisations, with the objective of building a stronger Indigenous visual arts industry.

To achieve this objective, IVAIS funding:

• supports the operations of Indigenous art centres, and organisations involved in the production, promotion and marketing of Indigenous visual art
• provides opportunities for Indigenous artists to maintain, develop and extend their professional art practice
• provides opportunities for art centre staff, artists and Board members to develop professional skills and experience
• facilitates the delivery of services to the Indigenous visual arts industry by allied industry support organisations.

IVAIS is a national competitive program, and is part of a coordinated approach to develop the Indigenous visual arts sector as outlined in the Indigenous Art Centre Plan.
