What is the project?
The department's Round 2 funded projects list describes it this way:
The project will deliver men’s art spaces and keeping places at four established Indigenous Art Centres (Mimili Maku Arts, Kaltjiti Arts, Tjala Arts and Umooma Community Arts) to support the growth in men’s engagement in art and artefact making, and where culture is celebrated and instructed daily through art and cultural practice.
