Staff
The Desart team collectively have extensive experience working with Aboriginal artists, art centres and their communities. We are all passionate about the arts and putting culture at the centre of what we do. We value the learning and sharing of knowledge, and we’re continuing to build our expertise and better help bring about positive changes.
Our accumulation of corporate knowledge working specifically with art centres in Central Australia is gleaned from over 25 years in operation. Desart staff are directed by an Aboriginal board of directors, who represent the membership.
