This means that Yamaji Art ensures:

• 100% returns back to the Aboriginal artist and the art centres/community centres;
• fostering of cultural maintenance and develoment;
• best practice in the making, marketing and distribution of Aboriginal Art;
• ensuring artists work in decent conditions and have their rights protected; and
