ART ARK
Buy Aboriginal art and ethically support Aboriginal artists
ART ARK makes buying and learning about Aboriginal art easy and meaningful by partnering exclusively with community-run, not-for-profit art centres. They guide you on what to avoid, ensuring your purchase doesn’t unknowingly contribute to artist exploitation.
ART ARK champions an amazing and uplifting industry where buying Aboriginal art supports whole communities, by partnering exclusively with not-for-profit, community-run, and publicly audited art centres that prioritise their artists' interests and authenticate the artworks they are sold. Before founding ART ARK, they worked for these incredible community centres for over ten years. Their mission is to combat the prevalent exploitation in the Aboriginal art market through education while providing customers with a seamless, ethical way to support talented artists. Through these partnerships, they offer a deeper understanding and appreciation of Aboriginal art and culture, promoting fair practices and the economic empowerment of Aboriginal communities.
