    About the Aboriginal Art Directory
    The Aboriginal Art Directory provides detailed, easy-to-use information about Australian Aboriginal art. It allows users and potential buyers to search for vendors or artists of the Aboriginal art community by:

    • the name of the gallery or artist
    • the art region in which the Aboriginal art or artist originated from in Australia
    • the medium of Aboriginal art such as acrylic on canvas, baskets or prints
    • the shopfront or type of Aboriginal art gallery, whether they be a commercial gallery, Aboriginal art centre, online store or a mixture of many
    • the location or place of business of the Aboriginal art gallery, from Alice Springs, Australia to international vendors in Los Angeles, United States of America.

    Utilising the search tool for Aboriginal artists enables users to obtain a complete list of art centres, galleries, museums, auction houses, online stores, private collections and wholesalers who are representing, or selling works from that artist. For the potential buyer, this enhances the ability to shop around to find the best deal, empowering them through the increase in choice and the ability to make an informed purchasing decision.

    This information, critical to buyers and sellers of Aboriginal art, allows purchasing decisions to be made based on higher quality information. The Aboriginal Art Directory allows users to shop around to find the best deal. Important information is provided in a way that potential buyers can easily search and understand.
