IMPACT SNAPSHOT
Measurable impact we have collectively created since the first collection in 2016:
- over $403,000 licensing payments to artists and art centres;
- designs from 52 artists featured
- $30,000 for Aboriginal business people, models, creators, photographers; through procurement, additional licensing opportunities, modelling, marketing, earring workshops etc.
The more difficult-to-measure impact is the stories from grateful customers who love connecting with Aboriginal stories, culture and art (often for the first time); and feel proud and powerful wearing and celebrating unique Australian stories. Thanks for being part of it all!
