A national webinar on 9 July will offer practical advice to creative, marketing, brand and legal professionals on engaging respectfully with First Nations artists and art centres.
The announcement:
Copyright Agency will host a national webinar during NAIDOC Week 2025 that guides Australian businesses and artists on how to engage ethically and respectfully with First Nations visual artists and art centres.
Titled “Doing it Right: Respectful Brand Alignment with First Nations Art”, the webinar takes place on Wednesday 9 July from 11am to 12pm AEST and is open to brand, marketing, legal and creative professionals across Australia.
Led by leading legal expert Terri Janke, the session will offer practical steps and insights on working with Indigenous Cultural and Intellectual Property (ICIP), with perspectives from Art Centre leadership and the Copyright Agency’s Visual Arts team.
The session also features a special conversation between Ravi Schneider, manager of Warmun Art Centre, and April Nulgit, chairperson of the Centre and an emerging Gija artist. Together they will discuss how art centres foster cultural continuity, support emerging talent, and facilitate ethical collaborations between artists and businesses.
“If you’d like to know more about working with First Nations artists, this is a great place to start. You’ll hear directly from an Indigenous author and lawyer, an artist, a remote art centre leader, and the team that helps the partnerships come together.”

The event will be hosted via Microsoft Teams and is part of Copyright Agency’s broader commitment to supporting respectful and equitable representation of First Nations creativity in the commercial space.
