In 2003 Arts Law received funding from the Australia Council to trial an Indigenous Project to improve service delivery to Indigenous artists and their organisations across Australia. The "Artists in the Black" service aims to increase access to advice and information about the legal rights of Indigenous artists and organisations. The service is currently in its pilot stage and will be trialed for two years.
Through "Artists in the Black" (AITB) Arts Law seeks to provide its services to Indigenous artists in a culturally appropriate way. Because of the lack of other services dealing with Arts Law issues for Indigenous artists, it is likely that AITB will play an important advocacy role in relation to Indigenous Cultural and Intellectual Property.
