ART SALE RECOMMENCED

We have now restarted our Art Sale in order to raise funds for major events in 2010. Please visit the Art Sale page to check out the awesome paintings done by local Central Australian artists/supporters.
Most of the money we make goes to our campaign and 25% to the artists. Sometimes they give paintings and don’t want anything in return. They are grateful for the support from our group, the groups around the country and the wider Australian community.
