Integrity in Practice

The Indigenous Art Code

Ancient Journeys is a proud and committed signatory to the Indigenous Art Code. We stand firmly against the exploitation of First Nations artists and the proliferation of fake Aboriginal art in the marketplace.

Every artwork, artefact, and product featured in our gallery is guaranteed to be authentic. We ensure that our artists are treated with the utmost respect, and that they retain full agency and copyright over their cultural stories and creations. By upholding these standards, we provide buyers with complete confidence that their purchases directly support legitimate Indigenous creators.

Fair Trade

Direct Compensation

Ethical trade means ensuring our artists are compensated fairly and transparently. We work directly with independent artists and established community art centres to guarantee that creators receive their proper, negotiated share of every sale.

There are no hidden fees, unfair contracts, or exploitative practices. Our business model is designed to foster sustainable economic independence for our indigenous artists allowing them to support their families while pursuing their creative passions.
