The National Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Art Award (NATSIAA) is widely considered the premier Indigenous art prize on the annual calendar. The accompanying exhibition, held at the Museum and Gallery of the Northern Territory (MAGNT) in Darwin, brings together outstanding works by Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander artists from across the country, providing a comprehensive snapshot of contemporary Indigenous practice. This year, 68 works were selected from 280 entries. The seven category winners are announced at an open public award ceremony hosted on the sprawling MAGNT lawns on Friday 10 August from 6.30 to 10pm.
