Indigenous Craft + Design Workshop
Craft ACT would like to thank all of those who donated to support this residency and workshop program, which was designed to help Indigenous artists develop their practice in a professional capacity, educate public perception about the significance of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander jewellery and raise the profile of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander art and contemporary craft as a dynamic and exciting part of the Australian craft sector. Every dollar donated was doubled by Creative Partnerships Plus1 Program.
Fifty@50
Craft ACT would like to thank all of those who have donated to their Fifty@50 campaign which hopes to raise $50,000 by our 50th anniversary, to secure our next 50 years.
