We believe that art has the power to change our community and our world.

For centuries Indigenous people have been silenced. We are dedicated to changing that. Our programs and exhibitions amplify Indigenous voices and knowledges. The conversations we initiate in the museum change people’s ideas about race, indigeneity, identity, privilege and history.

Join us in celebrating, preserving and sustaining Indigenous Australian art in the United States by becoming a member today.
