| Gallery Sydney-East is committed to ensuring that each Aboriginal artist we represent has been fully compensated for his or her work. To this end, we support the efforts of two important organizations representing the interests of indigenous art centers across Australia, namely, the Association of Northern, Kimberley and Arnhem Aboriginal Artists (ANKAAA) and the Association of Central Australian Aboriginal Art and Centres (DESART). Over ninety percent of Gallery Sydney-East’s purchases are made directly at art centers affiliated either with ANKAAA or DESART. We work directly with art center staff and directors, and with the artists in each community who sell their works through the centers. Our number one priority is to represent each artist fully, fairly and with dignity. Gallery Sydney-East provides a fully-documented provenance for each painting that includes the art center’s original catalog number, a certificate issued by the respective art center, and a description by the art center explaining the “story” being represented by the artist. Further, we provide a thirty-day, full-refund return policy on all art represented through the gallery. |
