IAA Inc is a not for profit community arts organisation to support Hobby and Professional Artists in Melbourne Australia.
IAA, Indian Australian Artists Incorporates, is based in Melbourne. It is founded by professional Indian Australian Artists who are devoted to the promotion of Art and Culture. IAA Inc is open for Australian resident Artists of all nationalities, gender and background.
It was established in 2017. Currently, we have grown to 24 Artist members and the number is gradually increasing. It has appeared that IAA Inc is the most awaited platform for hobby artists as well as professionals which has provided an excellent outlet providing a sense of achievement to most of the members. IAA is here to encourage, support, network, guide and upskill their artist members through its projects and events.
Founding member artists took the initiative to form IAA with the following core objectives:
· To provide a platform to artists to display and sell their artwork
· To award Artists for their Art work upon selection by Judges.
· To provide means for promoting and pursuing artwork
· To promote Mental Wellbeing through the medium of art
· To promote multicultural spirit
