The Western Australian Indigenous Art Awards, the richest Indigenous arts prize in the country, is a national award founded in 2008 to celebrate the breadth, diversity and excellence of art from all corners of Indigenous Australia. The awards acknowledge the significant and ongoing contribution Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander artists make to Australian art, culture and society. 16 finalists will be represented in the Western Australian Indigenous Art Awards 2011. The artists who have been invited to participate in the awards exhibition have the opportunity to share in $65,000 in prizes.
