Trade Principles
Trade Principles
At Utopia Australia, we uphold fair and ethical trade principles, ensuring our artists are respected and actively involved in bringing their artwork and merchandise to market. We maintain regular communication with our artists, discussing their royalties and addressing any queries they may have. Upon request, we provide information regarding their contracts, sales and royalty payments.
We are committed to ethical trading and fully support the values promoted by both the Aboriginal Art Association of Australia (AAAA) and the Indigenous Art Code.
A snippet from the Mission statement of AAAA:
Our mission is to ensure a vibrant, healthy, sustainable and inclusive Indigenous visual arts industry. We recognise that the industry depends upon the creative genius of Indigenous artists producing cultural material and that the long term viability of the industry depends upon that culture remaining strong.
We wholeheartedly support and agree with this mission. We will continue to promote the art and culture of Aboriginal Australia to the best of our ability. Our relationship with our artists and the community is always at the forefront of everything we do.
