The Art & Craft Centre Story, edited by Felicity Wright and Frances Morphy, presents a landmark three-volume analysis of Aboriginal community art centres across remote Australia. Commissioned by ATSIC and Desart Inc., the set documents the operational, cultural, and economic roles of thirty-nine centres, drawing on extensive fieldwork and over 300 structured interviews. Volume I reports the full survey findings, Volume II distills key recommendations and economic insights, and Volume III illustrates best practices through case studies from the bush. The series argues for the centrality of art centres in fostering Indigenous self-determination, employment, and cultural continuity, while exposing systemic funding challenges and policy blind spots. It instructs stakeholders in strategic advocacy and management, offering a rare synthesis of grassroots realities and institutional critique. This set remains essential for professionals in Indigenous arts policy, cultural economics, and remote community development
