Welcome to Country Store

When buying from the Welcome to Country store you are not only buying a beautiful product; you are buying products that directly benefit Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander artists and communities. Welcome to Country source items from artists, art centres and manufactures who have licence agreements with artists and pay fair royalties.
At Welcome to Country we understand that not everyone is looking to buy a major art work, our focus is to make all purchases fair and beneficial for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander artists and their communities. If properly licensed, every art silk scarf, piece of jewellery or weaving can fairly pay artists, help keep art centres open and the world’s oldest living culture strong.
