Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Board of the Australia Council

The Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Board of the Australia Council (for the Arts) makes important changes to the Indigenous arts landscape by supporting artists and protecting their artistic works. These changes evolve from recommendations of the Creating Pathways conference for dance (2005), the Senate Inquiry into Indigenous visual arts (2006), Making Solid Ground: Indigenous infrastructure and key organisations review (2008), the development of the Indigenous Australian Commercial Code of Conduct for the visual arts (2009), Song Cycles: An audit of support infrastructure for Indigenous music in Australia (2010), Indigenous Cultural Festivals: evaluating impact on community health and well-being (2010) and the National Indigenous Theatre Forum (2010).
