‘The National Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Art Award was initiated by the Museum and Art Gallery of the Northern Territory (MAGNT) in 1984 with the aim of promoting an appreciation and understanding of the diversity, complexity and beauty of Australian Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander art. Then known as the National Aboriginal Art Award, it was the first award of its kind dedicated to Indigenous artists in Australia … Today, the Telstra Collection forms a body of some 130 works acquired through consecutive National Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Art Awards between the years 1992 and 2015. The collection includes some of the best and distinctive works from the award and contributes to the overall strength and integrity of MAGNT’s permanent collections.’ – the publisher.
