The annual Telstra National Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Art Awards (NATSIAA) is back for its 42nd year, receiving a total 216 entries from all over Australia. The event is the most prestigious and longest running arts award of its kind, established in 1984 to nurture growth and recognition in Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander art culture.
Telstra NATSIAA is presented by Principal Partner Telstra and the Museum and Art Gallery of the Northern Territory (MAGNT). As always, all finalist artworks will be showcased at MAGNT until early next year. The exhibition opens 21 June 2025 and a virtual gallery will also be available for those who can’t make it to Darwin as an immersive alternative to view this year’s qualifying artists.
