Aboriginal Design Programs
Certificate IV in Aboriginal Design courses have been established through a partnership between Saltwater Freshwater Arts Alliance and North Coast Institute of TAFE.
Our vision is to establish a brokering service to link artists and design students with manufacturers across the world to create design products.
Arts & Skills Development
Our purpose at Saltwater Freshwater Arts Alliance is to position Aboriginal Art & Culture as the foundation for the long-term social, economic & environmental development of the Mid North Coast Aboriginal communities. Our workshops are one way that we work with our communities to achieve this goal.
Cultural Programs
With only 9% of Aboriginal people on the Mid North Coast aged over 55 and 52% under the age of 19, our program recognises the importance of engaging Elders Groups in the region to pass on traditional cultural practices to our young people to strengthen the contemporary identity of the region and create innovative cultural products.
Cultural Publications
The Mid North Coast has its own distinct style of art and our own Traditional stories and legends.
Saltwater Freshwater Arts Alliance’s aim is to celebrate and share our Aboriginal Living Culture, as distinctive from other more high profile areas in Australia, with the rest of the world through a range of publications.
