Aboriginal Art Shopping, NORTHERN TERRITORY
Airing Date: Jun 2nd, 2007
Shopping may be pure indulgence for some, but here in the
Top End, you can shop with a conscience!
Meet locals at work at the
Larrakia Art & Craft Centre where you can purchase paintings, wood and rock carvings direct from the artists. Larrakia Nation Art Centre is located at the
Larrakia Nation complex and facilities there include training, education and employment in Larrakia and Indigenous Art.
Larrakia Art and Craft also holds school and community workshops, is active in major public art projects and produces specialised products for retail and wholesale distribution to National and International markets.
The Larrakia Nation Art Centre creates opportunities for Larrakia and non-Larrakia artists to develop their skills.
Back in
Darwin, explore the famous
Mindil Beach Markets. The Market is recognised by the National Trust as an 'Icon of National Significance'. With over half a million visitors a year, the Market enjoys the largest number of visitors of any attraction in Darwin. It easily surpasses Kakadu's annual figures and on a pro rata basis, beats the iconic giant
Uluru. Do we love to shop or what? The Market is committed to providing an environment where community groups' involvement is encouraged.
