Home > Policy and Strategy > Indigenous Strategy

Arts Queensland is developing an Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Arts Strategy ("strategy") which will:

  • Provide a vision and direction for Arts Queensland and its partners that articulates what we want to achieve together and why;
  • Guide Arts Queensland's investment in Indigenous arts and cultural programs, policies, planning and decision making processes;
  • Provide a context for Arts Queensland's existing range of Indigenous initiatives and new initiatives including the Backing Indigenous Arts program.

The strategy aims to:

  • Affirm Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultures and support cultural retention
  • Support a vibrant and sustainable Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander arts industry
  • Celebrate and profile artistic excellence
  • Support young and emerging artists and arts workers
  • Promote strong Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander arts and culture
  • Encourage the growth and prosperity of Indigenous cultural enterprise
  • Support wellbeing and social cohesion that results from a strong connection with culture and heritage
