Country Arts WA is one of the largest recipients to share in the $48 million
allocated nationally for two ongoing projects supporting Indigenous arts,
culture and languages. It will receive an additional $250,000 for the Aboriginal Art Centre Hub of Western Australia (AACWHA). This sum adds to the $122,900 allocated by the Office For The Arts (OFTA) last year for the 2012 and 2013 Sand Tracks Cross Border Tour initiatives.
Sand Tracks Cross Border Tour is a remote Indigenous contemporary music touring
initiative run by Country Arts WA designed to profile and further develop Aboriginal artists, build remote Indigenous and non-Indigenous audiences as well as build community capacity through the workshop component of the tours and increasing partnerships.
