Award winning ''Tobwabba Art Collective'', based in Forster on the Mid North Coast of NSW, is a 100% Aboriginal owned artist collective providing employment and income for twenty-two Aboriginal artists and staff. Aboriginal Artists create all authentic Indigenous Koorie Aboriginal Artworks of superb quality and spectacular design, each with a significant story to tell.
Tobwabba Art tells the story of Worimi people from the Great Lakes region of coastal New South Wales. Tobwabba Art is a living portrayal of the rich and diverse culture of the Worimi people that has been passed down through the generations.
Starting in 1992 as an Aboriginal Art and Culture Course for the local people of the Indigenous Koorie Aboriginal community, it has developed into an Indigenous Koorie Aboriginal Art and Design Studio and Gallery producing Fine Art, Sculpture and Designs.
Tobwabba has been successful beyond anything that could have been imagined. Uniquely, it is a business built upon the culture, not a culture built around the business. Tobwabba Art Collective provides one of the definitive models of a successful Indigenous Koorie Aboriginal enterprise.
During Tobwabba''s development it has achieved many accolades such as recognition by the National Indigenous Arts Advocacy Association (concerned with the protection of Indigenous Art), Excellence in Design for many of the products, Excellence in Tourism Awards and the Aboriginal Employer Achievement Award.
