Aboriginal Art Centre Forum

Our Business: Aboriginal Art Centre Forum is a professional development program designed to support WA Aboriginal art centres by providing training in effective business management, promoting regional partnerships, and offering networking and market access opportunities.
The annual forum aims to support the professional growth and leadership training of art centre managers, artists, and arts workers by providing presentations, activities, and opportunities to connect with others in the sector, thereby strengthening the Western Australian arts and culture workforce.

AACHWA respectfully acknowledges the Whadjuk People of the Noongar Nation as the Traditional Owners and Custodians of the land on which AACHWA’s office is located. AACHWA extends its Acknowledgement to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples as the Traditional Custodians of this country and its waters. We wish to pay respect to the Elders past and present and extend this to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people. Art and storytelling have been practised by Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people on these lands for tens of thousands of years, and we at AACHWA are privileged to be able to promote, empower and connect Aboriginal artists and art centres across the region. This always was, and always will be Aboriginal land.
