The National Gallery of Australia acknowledges and thanks the government and corporate
supporters involved in our major twenty-fifth anniversary exhibitions, acquisitions and
education and public programs.
Culture Warriors: National Indigenous Art Triennial
The inaugural National Indigenous Art Triennial features a
range of contemporary Australian Indigenous art practice
and pays tribute to a key group of dedicated and important
artists – in particular those whose respective careers span
the four decades since the 1967 Referendum (Aboriginals).
In recognition of the national significance of the exhibition,
the following organisations have provided their support,
along with that of principal sponsor BHP Billiton.
Visions of Australia
Visions of Australia is an Australian Government program
supporting touring exhibitions by providing funding
assistance for the development and touring of Australian
cultural material across Australia. The National Gallery
of Australia is very proud of its longstanding relationship
with Visions of Australia which has seen fifteen travelling
exhibitions visit 110 venues throughout regional, remote
and metropolitan Australia over a period of twelve years.
Culture Warriors: National Indigenous Art Triennial has
been granted funds under Round 4 of the Contemporary
Touring Initiative through Visions of Australia, an Australian
Government program, and the Visual Arts and Craft
Strategy, an initiative of the Australian Government and
state and territory governments.
