STRONG ARTS.
STRONG CULTURE.
STRONG COMMUNITIES.
Ku Arts (Ananguku Arts and Culture Aboriginal Corporation) is the South Australian peak body for Aboriginal controlled art centres and independent Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander artists in South Australia. We work with thousands of First Nations artists statewide and support art centres on the APY Lands and throughout regional and remote South Australia.
Ku Arts is a proud Supporter Member of Indigenous Art Code. Being a Code Supporter is about adding your voice to the call for fair and ethical trade with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander artists, and transparency in the promotion and sale of artwork.

A vital support stream that Ku Arts provides to independent Indigenous artists across South Australia is the Artists Materials Fund. Overcoming barriers of equity and access, including the prohibitive cost of freight, this vital funding champions artists’ agency and self-determination, supporting cultural practice.
