The Queensland Indigenous Arts Marketing and Export Agency (QIAMEA), a significant part of Backing Indigenous Arts, actively promotes Queensland Indigenous arts and artists through strategic marketing and export initiatives internationally.
QIAMEA is a Queensland Government initiative dedicated to leading the international marketing and export of Queensland Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander arts across all art forms. QIAMEA is the dedicated international arm within the Queensland Government's Backing Indigenous Arts (BIA) initiative, managed by Arts Queensland.
QIAMEA acts as a conduit between Government, the arts industry and the Indigenous community to raise the profile of Indigenous artists from the state of Queensland, Australia.
QIAMEA's aim is to build long-term relationships with key organisations and the arts industry to present and promote the very best of Queensland Indigenous arts.
QIAMEA develops marketing and exporting strategies for the arts market to achieve new opportunities for Indigenous artists from Queensland, while maintaining Indigenous cultural integrity within the Indigenous arts export industry.
QIAMEA's role is to market and export Queensland Indigenous art to position it as a major contemporary force in international markets; and advocate and support a whole of Government focus on the further development of an export-oriented Indigenous arts industry in Queensland.
