ANKA is currently seeking support for the following special projects 

Arts Worker Extension Program
This leading program gives vital opportunities for education and career development for Aboriginal arts workers from remote communities. It literally changes lives. Support is needed to launch the important second phase of this proven program.  For more information view ANKA  Projects, Art Worker Extension Program.

Cultural Legacy Program  
The Cultural Legacy Program supports a journey towards well-resourced community based and run, supported art and culture spaces.  Consultations with ANKAs membership has identified the need to recognise the significant knowledge held within ANKAs regions and to provide employment opportunities, cultural education and the ability to maintain and preserve culture on country. 
As the peak body, ANKA strives to:

• Facilitate access to training
• Provide networking opportunities
• Support right-way collaborative relationships with national, state and territory-based institutions, government and philanthropic organisations.

The long-term vision of the ANKA board and its membership is to develop and support a thriving network of well-cared art and culture spaces, staffed by highly skilled supported Aboriginal people.  For more information view ANKA Projects, Cultural Legacy Program. 

Prize for Senior Arts Educators
The work of elders teaching the next generations of artists and cultural leaders goes unpaid and is largely unrecognised by the wider world. But as it always has, transferal of Indigenous traditional knowledge and art skills relies on the tireless effort of elders and knowledge holders. The ANKA board wants to sponsor a new Award to recognise and respect senior artists who do this vital work keeping culture and art alive for coming generations.
