What We Do

Each project starts with an expression of interest where we invite Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander artists to submit their work to us based on the projects location needs and creative direction.

NADA then manages the process of appointing a dedicated creative team after detailed stakeholder consultation.

We put together a unique creative team for each project.

YES! we are the commercial arm of the Saltwater Freshwater Arts Alliance (SWFW), a not-for-profit organisation governed by ten Local Aboriginal Land Councils, from Karuah to Coffs Harbour on the NSW Mid North Coast. 

We run an extensive expression of interest process for each project online and through our Australia wide artist networks.

Aboriginal artists are encouraged to apply on a project by project basis.

Submission of an EOI does not however guarantee an artist is chosen.

Yes, we only work with Aboriginal artists

NADA was in established in 2012 out of the need to develop and champion a sustainable and authentic Aboriginal design industry in Australia.

We work on behalf of the artist to make sure that they are paid correctly for their work and receive applicable royalties or licensing fees when applicable to the project.

Yes NADA has been fortunate to work with Terri Janke and Associates to develop our license agreements.
