Art Centres
The DAAF Foundation and its IFP program is owned and operated by a membership of more than 70 Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Art Centres.
The mission of the Foundation is to encourage the production of Aboriginal arts and to assist with its promotion in an ethical commercial environment. It is committed to professional development opportunities for artists and arts workers, and continually contributes to the cultural aspirations of Art Centres.
IFP has many activities, events and programs that focus on development for artists and Art Centres, specifically in the field of textiles and fashion, including:
