Our Business
Aboriginal Art Centre Forum
28 October – 1 November 2024
Wardandi Country, Bunbury WA
This year, from Monday 28 October to Friday 1 November, we look forward to having you join us on Wardandi Noongar Country Bunbury for our annual forum, Our Business.
Our Business is open to all art centre artists, staff, managers, local government cultural workers and arts sector professionals who engage with Aboriginal artists and arts centres.
The program will kick-off with a day for AACHWA Members, followed by three days of workshops, and will conclude with a symposium to celebrate and showcase the great work Aboriginal art centres and Independent Artists do! With focus on our shared future, the program will include practical training, shared learning, face to face networking and focused discussions.
New to the forum? Here’s a short video explaining what it’s all about >>
To help us develop this year’s program, we invite you to take a few minutes to complete a short questionnaire that will shape this year’s content and gauge attendance numbers. Are there topics you wish to explore at the forum? We welcome your suggestions!
We look forward to having you join us at the 2024 Our Business forum. Let’s come together, learn from one another, and make the most of this valuable opportunity.
