Sarah highlighted that APAM gatherings happen at established festivals across Australia, the next one being at DAAF August 2021.

Nici also spoke to Tarnanthi 2020, and the opportunity to be creative about how they present. Nici spoke of the opportunity Tarnanthi has to work with many other SA organizations, as well as Art Gallery of SA and Tandanya, which offers a fantastic sharing and learning opportunity. She also spoke of the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Art in the Classroom publication, which has been a huge 6 success. On the Art Gallery of SA website, there is a raft of educational resources available to everyone.
