About NORTH
NORTH exists as a vessel to celebrate, support and broaden the exposure of textile design by Indigenous artists from remote community Art Centres.
An Aboriginal-owned business, NORTH is a non-for-profit organisation, governed by Indigenous & non-Indigenous board members. In the development of its collections, NORTH works with remote community art centres to develop beautiful, high-quality products featuring fabric designed by remote Indigenous artists. This interaction nurtures growth and opportunity, both for the individual Indigenous artists as well as their communities.
As a non-for-profit organisation, revenue from sales is directed immediately back into the development of creative opportunities; responsive to the ideas and requests of the artists with whom we collaborate.
NORTH is dedicated to honouring the cultural importance and significance of storytelling through the means in which it communicates with our artists, customers and partners. Working in this way ensures that transaction of goods is never deprived of human connection and meaning.

We do our best to provide accurate shipping costs on our website at check out, however every item for sale in our gallery is unique and as such, it is sometimes difficult to automate and estimate our shipping costs, especially when customers purchase more than one artwork at once.
