The Victorian Government announced today its new Aboriginal Arts Policy Model, which includes a change to regulations that will allow Indigenous people to sell their artwork while incarcerated.
It has been a fight for more than 40 years to pass, and builds on the announcement by Minister for Corrections Wade Noonan last January of a $758,000 boost to the prison art program, giving offenders a new chance at stable employment and reduce their likelihood of re-offending.
