Harvey Art Projects
Based in Sun Valley Idaho, Harvey Art Projects USA is a leading art gallery representing Australia’s finest contemporary Indigenous artists and their Indigenous communities. The organization is dedicated to developing ongoing cultural awareness, understanding and appreciation of Australian Aboriginal Art in America through regular exhibitions and satellite events.
Aboriginal art is Australia's leading contemporary art movement yet it's origins are derived from the oldest continuous artistic tradition know to man. From its humble beginnings in the early 1970s, Aboriginal art continues to not only sustain an important world culture but also plays a vital role in returning country and spirit to its people.
Today, Aboriginal Art provides Indigenous Australians significant economic and cultural stability through ongoing connection to family and country, and Tjurkupa. After 45 years of contemporary art practice and international acclaim, Aboriginal Art has firmly established itself as an important contemporary art movement in the international arena.
Harvey Art Projects is proud to be the exclusive representative of Australia's leading Aboriginal Art Centers in the United States. The gallery curates regular exhibitions which include solo and group exhibits that focus on emerging & senior artists and specific Aboriginal owned & operated art centers from remote regions of the Northern Territory, Western Australia and South Australia.
