15.01.2022 From 19 March until 28 April 2015 we are holding a sale of 20 paintings to raise funds for the Western Desert Dialysis Program. This Program helps Aboriginal patients to receive medical treatment for kidney disease and to operate dialysis facilities in their home communities in the western and central deserts. The paintings in the sale have all been donated by individuals to support this cause and the entire proceeds from the sale of each work will go to the Program.

03.01.2022 Over the last few years there have been media reports about greedy and unethical behaviour in the buying and selling of Aboriginal art. To improve the ethics o the market, and to help people to buy art ethically, the Australian Government has produced a draft Commercial Code of Conduct - to be introduced later this year.
