 Looking for an Unforgettable Australian Experience?
The Australian Trade Commission and the Northern Territory Government have come together to offer an unforgettable experience, exploring Australia's cultural jewel - the art of its indigenous people. In May 2007, seven delegates from the United States will be selected to go on a once in a lifetime tour visiting Australia's indigenous lands, the people that live there and the art they produce.
Delegates will travel by 4 wheel drive and light aircraft to visit the remote communities of central Australia, Arnhemland, the Tiwi Islands and the Kimberley regions. Over the fourteen days delegates will visit art centres and galleries with international reputations while also getting to view works of art being created in the very locations that inspired them.
The Australian Trade Commission and the Northern Territory Government are currently seeking delegates who are interested in buying indigenous art & crafts and opinion shapers including collectors and enthusiasts, designers and gallery owners. Click [here...] for more information.
