Darwin Festival & Telstra Aboriginal Art Awards are coming!


The Annual Darwin Festival is coming up again soon.

As someone who has attended the festival a number of times I can attest to the claims that it is the premier festival for the top end of Australia and the Asia Pacific Region.

August is a busy month in Darwin with not only mainstream events like the Darwin Cup but a plethora of Art cultural events incorporated around the Darwin Festival including the National Aboriginal Art Awards, The Indigenous Music Awards and the Garma Festival.

The centrepiece is the National Aboriginal & Torres Strait Islander Art Awards - commonly known as The Telstras.

The opening of the Telstra's will be held on Friday 15th August 2008 at 6pm at the Museum and Art Gallery of the Northern Territory, Conacher Street, Bullocky Point, Darwin

It is a fantastic night and has become a very important event within the Aboriginal Art Industry.

I have listed below some links to articles containing more information on the Telstra's as well as some of the other events being held during August
