About NAVA and the Code of Practice

The National Association for the Visual Arts (NAVA) is a Membership organisation that brings together the many voices of the contemporary arts sector to improve fundamental conditions of work and practice. We do this through advocacy, education and the Code of Practice. For further information on NAVA visit www.visualarts.net.au

NAVA's Code sets out equitable, ethical and self-reflective standards for the Australian contemporary arts sector. The Code has been endorsed by the Australian Government as part of the National Cultural Policy.

Behind the stall are two banners; one displays the Code of Practice logo on a white backdrop and the other is the NAVA logo in white on a pink backdrop. Code of Practice signs, postcards and resources are placed on the table.

NAVA acknowledges and pays respects to the Gadigal people, the rightful custodians of the lands where this event will be held. We recognise all Custodians of Country throughout all lands, waters and territories, and pay respect to First Nations communities' ancestors and Elders. Sovereignty was never ceded.
