We are the Australian Government’s principal arts investment, development and advisory body. We are a champion for Australian arts both here and overseas.

Creative Australia's strategic plan reflects our desire to make more visible the vitality of our arts and culture, and to recognise the evolving way that Australians make and experience art. Our role is to support the unimagined along with the reimagined, the unknown and experimental along with the keenly anticipated. We invest in artistic excellence through support for all facets of the creative process and are committed to the arts being more accessible to all Australians.

Dr Djambawa Marawili AM Red Ochre Award for Lifetime Achievement in Cultural Advocacy and Leadership 29/05/2026

“[Ancestors] gave me opportunities I really wanted to be involved with politics and also became an artist and then became leader on song lines and also we decided to have our own art centre in Yirkala.

I thought it was just arts that I can do, only by hands, and use red ochre, white ochre and clay. Now this is different. We can talk for our rights for our countries” — Dr Djambawa Marawili AM, recipient of the Red Ochre Award for Lifetime Achievement in Cultural Advocacy and Leadership

Stephen Pigram: Red Ochre Award for Lifetime Achievement in Artistic Excellence 28/05/2026

"I’ve been writing songs for over 40 years now. It’s something you can’t rush.

I’m talking about a song that’s got a little bit of magic. It’s timeless. The song may be hidden in the red cliffs, the mudflats, or the cerulean blue waters up the creek. You can’t make that. You can’t create that. It has to find you” — Stephen Pigram, recipient of the Red Ochre Award for Lifetime Achievement in Artistic Excellence
