Tour Details:

Are you an avid collector or a serious investor in Aboriginal Art? The first rule when collecting Aboriginal art is to spend time where it’s created.

Collect Aboriginal Art is offering specialised art buying and investing trips to some of the most remote locations Australia has to offer. If you wish to visit the source of Aboriginal art we can arrange flights, permits, accommodation and meals, along with viewings at community art centres. All of the centres visited are located in isolated Aboriginal communities generally difficult to access by road with entry by permit only. You will be visiting and buying direct from community art centres that nurture and develop local talent.

Each art centre is different and the art reflects the cultural background of the area. You will have access to some stunning and visually exciting artwork before it becomes available on the general market. The art includes large and small paintings on bark and canvas, limited edition prints, exciting textiles, woven sculptures and fascinating carvings. All travel, accommodation and gallery visits are arranged and pre-booked. Art purchases will be packed, insured and shipped by the individual art centres.

Tours can be arranged to art centres in Arnhem Land, the Kimberley, Tiwi Islands or Central and Western Desert regions and private itineraries can be arranged on request.
For collectors and investors genuinely interested in Aboriginal art and the artists who brought it to the world’s attention, these journeys promise a rich cultural and collecting experience.
