Our Business: Aboriginal Art Centre Forum
The Our Business: Aboriginal Art Centre Forum is a weeklong professional development gathering designed to support WA Aboriginal art centres.
The forum provides training in effective business management, promoting regional partnerships, and offering networking and market access opportunities.
Held in a different regional WA location each year, the annual forum aims to support the professional growth and leadership training of art centre board members, managers, staff and arts workers by providing presentations, activities, and opportunities to connect with others in the sector, thereby strengthening the WA arts and culture workforce.

What it’s all about
The industry connection with other WA art centres was invaluable. The line up of speakers from Arts Law, Indigenous Art Code and funding providers was very confirming. Looking forward to the next Forum!
