To Feb 18, 2024 The 40th Telstra National Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Art Awards (NATSIAA) – Australia’s longest-running and most prestigious Indigenous art awards, the Telstra NATSIAA aims to showcase the very best in Australian Indigenous art by both emerging and established contemporary artists from across Australia. This year marks the 40th anniversary of Telstra NATSIAA presented on Larrakia Country. The establishment of NATSIAA came at a vital time when Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander art and artists were first widely being recognised, artistically, critically and commercially. In 2023, Telstra NATSIAA saw an increasing variety of artforms and media, collectively demonstrating the richness and diversity of current contemporary Indigenous artistic practice, and the importance of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander voices, nationwide, within the visual arts. Making the awards even more significant today: Telstra NATSIAA is now the richest art award in the country, with prize money across the seven categories more than doubling thanks to an ongoing partnership between MAGNT and Principal Partner Telstra. Artists shared a total of $190,000, with the prize money for the major Telstra Art Award doubling to $100,000 and each award category prize tripling from $5,000 to $15,000. More details about the winners and finalists here: www.magnt.net.au/natsiaa.
