Plan Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander visual arts projects

Assessment tool

Version 1.0
Issue Date: April 2024


This unit describes the performance outcomes, skills and knowledge required to research and plan projects that represent a diversity of visual arts practice of Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander artists, with an understanding of the international context.

It applies to individuals who may be working autonomously or with others, as project officers or managers in the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander visual arts industry. Individuals could be working in urban, regional, rural or remote settings. The work environment could involve interactions with artists and their communities in contexts such as cultural/arts centres and cooperatives, commercial and public galleries, museums, retail outlets, community projects, exhibitions, events and festivals.

This unit reflects the diversity of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultures and visual arts practices. It emphasises the importance of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples controlling their own cultural heritage and identity.

No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.

You may want to include more information here about the target group and the purpose of the assessments (eg formative, summative, recognition)

4.4 Prepare a project evaluation strategy that includes artists, their families and/or communities, and other relevant stakeholders

Evidence of the ability to:

produce at least one project plan related to a project, program exhibition or workshop that represents a diversity of national and/or international indigenous visual arts, and includes:

appropriate planning formats and procedures

project purpose, participants and audience

details that show an awareness of cultural protocols

project timelines

a simple budget that includes key expenditure items and potential income streams

an overview of identified risks and strategies to address them

identification of roles and responsibilities of project participants

consult with artists, their families and/or communities, and other relevant stakeholders around the intended project, showing awareness of cultural protocols

research and analyse the diversity of indigenous visual arts in a national and international context

prepare records relevant to the project to present information to be used by others.

Note: If a specific volume or frequency is not stated, then evidence must be provided at least once.

To complete the unit requirements safely and effectively, the individual must:

identify artists, networks, publications and organisations relevant to national and international indigenous visual arts practice and industry

explain the key principles and protocols for using indigenous cultural material and artwork, and interacting with Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander artists and/or their communities

describe sustainability considerations with reference to cultural, economic, environmental and social factors

provide examples of legal and ethical requirements that relate to the project and explain how they impact on project planning

identify logistical considerations relevant to the project

give details of how artists, their families and/or communities are actively involved in the project

provide examples of funding and revenue opportunities related to the project

explain what is meant by the term in-kind support in the context of the project.

Assessment must be conducted in a safe environment where evidence gathered demonstrates consistent performance of typical activities experienced in Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander visual arts industry environments. The assessment environment must include access to:

Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander visual art, artists and/or their communities

culturally appropriate processes and techniques suited to the language and literacy capacity of learners and the work being performed.

Assessors of this unit must satisfy the requirements for assessors in applicable vocational educational and training legislation, frameworks and/or standards.
