Indigenous artist seeks international markets
An Indigenous artist from Tamworth is exploring international markets with support from the NSW Government. Terry Allen now has five artworks on show at the Australian Art Fest which has just opened in Toronto, Canada. The Australian Art Fest was launched on October 18 with a special viewing for more than 200 private collectors. The exhibition potentially opens up a huge new market for Mr Allen who has mostly been exhibiting in Australia. Toronto has a population of five million and is regarded as having a diverse and vibrant art scene. Mr Allen, who paints in acrylic on canvas, is one of 10 artists invited to participate in this special exhibition which will showcase Australian art and culture to the Canadian market. The NSW Government’s Aboriginal Business Link program has helped with the freight and insurance costs of transporting Mr Allen ’s artworks to Canada. Mr Allen said he was looking forward to having his works seen by Canadians who have mostly had little exposure to Australian art. “I believe the best potential for my work lies overseas, so the opportunity to have five paintings seen, and possibly sold, in Canada will be a great boost,” he said. | ||
