Our galleries celebrate First Nations Australian art on the global stage.<\/h1>\r\n <\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n \t\t\t
\r\n\t\t\t\t

We are honoured to champion the artists whose lands stretch from the shores of the Indian Ocean to the Tasman and Coral Seas. <\/span><\/p>\n

The foundation of our exhibition approach, with all our artists, is to maintain cultural authority, agency, authenticity, and fair dealings.<\/span>

Partnering with Art Centres<\/h1>\r\n <\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n \t\t\t
\r\n\t\t\t\t

First Nations Australian exhibitions across the Michael Reid congregation of galleries are drawn from Aboriginal & Torres Strait Islander art centres, assuring authenticity and fair dealings with artists.<\/span><\/p>\n

This model ensures that every artist is:
\n\u2014\u00a0<\/span>fully informed by the Community of the process and timing of sale
\n<\/span>\u2014 well represented, with the power of negotiation and agency over their work
\n<\/span>\u2014 fairly paid<\/span><\/p>\n

When an artwork is sourced from an art centre, the majority of the funds go to the artist, with a small portion invested back into the art centre to cover operational costs and create community programs.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Created over many decades, Michael Reid is honoured by the enduring partnerships we have with art centres across Australia.<\/b><\/p>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n <\/div> \r\n <\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\n\n

Building a Sustainable Industry<\/h1>\r\n <\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n \t\t\t
\r\n\t\t\t\t

Over the last 60 years, Aboriginal & Torres Strait Islander art centres have become vital community spaces. They preserve tradition while sustaining contemporary voices, allowing knowledge and culture to be passed down from generation to generation.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

They provide economic sovereignty to the traditional custodians of the land and create a framework of support, whether legal or moral, for their communities.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The knowledge passed down is not only cultural \u2013 it creates business and curatorial jobs, language projects, trips to country, access to new technologies and travel for their artists.<\/span><\/p>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n <\/div> \r\n <\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\n\n\n

Looking to the Future<\/h1>\r\n <\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n \t\t\t
\r\n\t\t\t\t

As a partner to Art Centres across Australia, and the artists they represent, Michael Reid takes our role as an ambassador to this remarkable group of cultures seriously.<\/span><\/p>\n

As long as we represent Aboriginal & Torres Strait Islander peoples, we commit to upholding traditions, honouring artists, and ensuring we meet the objectives \u2013 whether cultural, legal, or economic \u2013 of our partners.<\/span><\/p>\n

We recognise the terrible damage done to the Indigenous people of this country during Australia\u2019s brief post-colonial history. Our hope is that by championing the traditions of our Aboriginal & Torres Strait Islander partners and celebrating their art on a global stage, we can assist in bringing recognition and resources to the oldest continuous living culture on earth.<\/span><\/p>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n <\/div> \r\n <\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":10,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"templates\/tpl-indigenous-art.php","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"class_list":["post-5447","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/michaelreid.com.au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/5447","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/michaelreid.com.au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/michaelreid.com.au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/michaelreid.com.au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/10"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/michaelreid.com.au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=5447"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/michaelreid.com.au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/5447\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/michaelreid.com.au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=5447"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
