There are now over 100 art centres, representing 6,000 artists, in 80 remote communities.<\/p>\n<p>The Aboriginal art centres\u00a0are Aboriginal-owned artist cooperatives. They facilitate the production and distribution of artworks, while ensuring the fair remuneration of artists and managing their careers.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-2030 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/www.idaia.com.au\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/10\/Warakurna-Children-painting.jpg\" alt=\"Warakurna - Children painting\" width=\"256\" height=\"192\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.idaia.com.au\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/10\/Warakurna-Children-painting.jpg 320w, https:\/\/www.idaia.com.au\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/10\/Warakurna-Children-painting-150x112.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 256px) 100vw, 256px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The art centres are\u00a0non-for-profit entities\u00a0that play a key role in the development and sustainability of the sector:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Recording the artworks\u2019 creation details, guaranteeing their\u00a0authenticity and a permanently traceable provenance,<\/li>\n<li>Providing a\u00a0pricing reference framework,<\/li>\n<li>Redistributing\u00a0benefits to artists\u00a0(between 50% and 70% of the sale price of works)<\/li>\n<li>Ensuring\u00a0cultural maintenance, renewal, learning and social cohesion\u00a0\u2013 crucial factors for the aesthetic quality and proper telling of the artists\u2019 dreamings.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The Aboriginal art centres are unanimously recognised as the only original provenance allowing for absolute certainty as far as the authenticity, the ethical nature and the quality of an artwork for sale, are concerned.<\/p>\n<p>There are two kinds of Aboriginal artists in Australia: the urban-based artists, who are totally integrated into the western way of life, and the artists who still live in communities.\u00a0In the case of\u00a0artists\u00a0who are part of\u00a0an\u00a0art centre\u00a0(or\u00a0belong to an equivalent\u00a0ethical organization, acting as an art\u00a0centre), it is recommended\u00a0to choose\u00a0an artwork\u00a0coming from\u00a0this very\u00a0art centre\u00a0for the reasons explained\u00a0above,\u00a0and also\u00a0to guarantee the right appraisal of the artwork\u2019s value. Indeed, reputed and reputable auction\u00a0houses\u00a0will not accept\u00a0other provenance evidence or origins than those strictly provided by\u00a0art centres only.<\/p>\n<p>With now over 100 art centres in Australia, there only remains a very small number of Aboriginal communities who do not possess such an organisational structure to protect them.<\/p>\n<p>Aboriginal peak advocacy and support agencies provide regional assistance for Aboriginal art centres located in their operating geographical area. They are government-funded, not-for-profit Aboriginal corporations.<\/p>\n<p>The services they offer range from consultation to training. They act as lobby and advocacy groups to protect the rights of Aboriginal artists and promote an ethical Aboriginal art sector. They also play an important role in establishing guidelines, training and induction programs in order to facilitate good art centre functioning and governance, and are an essential networking hub in often very remote regions.<span style=\"text-align: center;\"><a title=\"Others\" href=\"https:\/\/www.idaia.com.au\/en\/?page_id=1124\"><em> Learn more about these peak bodies<\/em><\/a>.<br
