For 38 years, the Telstra NATSIAA (National Aboriginal and Torres Strait Island Art Awards) have been taking the pulse on the state of making for contemporary First Nations artists.
All eyes – be they peers and colleagues, curators from our state institutions, private collectors, or even international museums – will be focused on this year’s finalists, this Friday 5 August, when the winners across six $15,000 categories will be announced, alongside the main prize winner of $100,000.
