“Aboriginal Dreamtime fine art gallery has been a proud association member since 2015. The Aboriginal Art Association of Australia’s mission is to ensure a vibrant, healthy, sustainable and inclusive Indigenous visual arts industry.

​We recognise that the industry depends upon the creative genius of Indigenous artists producing cultural material and that the long term viability of the industry depends upon that culture remaining strong.

​We seek to provide the industry with and to promote a nationwide safe and ethical environment in which Indigenous artists are free and safe to ply their trade for fair and prompt remuneration, free from exploitation, bullying and coercion.

​We operate as an advocate for all industry participants, whether artist, gallery or dealer, independent or art centre affiliated. The AAAA provides members with the ideal mechanism to expand their contacts, remain abreast of and discuss issues relevant to the industry and grow their businesses.

Incorporated in 1999, the Aboriginal Art Association of Australia (AAAA) remains Australia’s pre-eminent association of individuals and organisations involved in the business of Indigenous art.

​The AAAA is non-partisan.  The Association operates as an advocate for all industry participants, whether artist, gallery or dealer and whether independent or art centre affiliated.

​The AAAA believes all industry participants should have the right to participate and have a say in industry matters.  This ideal is enshrined in the Association’s Constitution via its Code of Ethics and in its Membership and Board representation principles.

​The Association and its Board also play an active role in moderating disputes within the industry, offering counsel to those involved, or seeking to be involved, in the industry and in interacting with bodies interested in Indigenous visual arts.

​The AAAA is the initial contact for any party seeking comment on and insight into the industry.

​From a Member perspective, the Association represents an excellent opportunity to network, develop best practice, expand markets and discuss challenges.  New Members are often surprised at the positive impact Membership has on their businesses and careers, particularly in the areas of supply of quality artworks and access to new markets.

​In 2015, the AAAA changed its name from the Australian Indigenous Art Trade Association (Art.Trade).  This name change was part of the re-invigoration of the Association, a process that has seen an amended Constitution put in place and renewed energy directed towards Member recruitment and engagement with policymakers, industry participants, consumers and industry commentators”.
