Aboriginal Arts Organisations
The Black Cockatoo Aboriginal Corporation has been established to use arts for social health and well-being. The group has a Facebook pages which it uses to sell its artworks.
All the Land Councils are concerned with maintaining culture and undertake projects and activities within their communities. There are Aboriginal Liaison Officers in primary and high schools across the region who are often conduits for organisations such as Southern Tablelands Arts and the regional gallery Aboriginal specific child and youth arts and culture.
There are Aboriginal Development Officer positions in Queanbeyan Palerang and Wingecarribee Shire Councils. Wollondilly Council currently has a trainee in their events team.
The Country Arts Support Program (CASP) is often sued as a means of developing arts projects with Aboriginal communities in the region.
