There are three ways to be part of the Indigenous Art Code Limited (IartC):
dealer members (Including art centres)
Dealer Members are organisations and individuals who are engaged in commercial trade with Indigenous artists. These Members are signatories to the Code and must adhere to the Code’s requirements in conducting business. They must also respect the rules set out in the company constitution.
Indigenous Artist Members are Indigenous artists who wish to be informed and involved in IartC. They are not bound by the Code but as Members, must abide by the rules set out in IartC’s constitution. There are no membership fees applicable for this category of membership.
Code Supporters are people and organisations who support the Code and its principles but are not involved in commercial trade with Indigenous artists. This could include collectors, individual philanthropists, galleries and museums. They are not bound by the Code but must support and promote the ethical principles of the Code and abide by the rules set out in the IartC’s constitution.
