Indigenous art tells a story in Laura

Aboriginal Art Directory | 16.02.09

An Aboriginal Art Exhibition is on display at the Laura Court House Gallery throughout January and February, giving people the opportunity to view and purchase an exciting range of colourful indigenous art that reflects and tells the story of the artist’s culture.

The art group was initially started as a community project in 2005 with a view to developing a permanent art space that would provide local and regional artists with a venue to work and showcase their creative and artistic talents with the community.

The group approached the Employment Training and Participation Team at UnitingCare Wesley in Port Pirie in 2008 seeking assistance to develop the necessary skills to establish a social enterprise around producing and promoting indigenous art.
