created 3 years ago to be an outlet for the local indigenous
artists to be recognized, respected and financially supported.
The art is sourced directly from the artists and their families
or from businesses that engage in ethical trading with
Australian Aboriginal artists. Through this outlet they see
great potential for these artists to be nationally and
internationally promoted through the many visitors to Byron Bay.
