Baillie Lodges has confirmed its plans to support an arts education program for the remote aboriginal artists’ community of Ernabella with a $100,000 donation over the next two years.

Longitude 131° has enjoyed an expanding working partnership with Ernabella Arts Inc since 2014, contributing around $120,000 to date in commissioned artworks, the development of a bespoke tour for guests to visit the community as well as a series of artists-in-residence visits to Longitude 131°.

The donated funds will offer improved operational support, enable the community to employ a dedicated ceramics technician to supply ceramics for the artists and contribute to further education and training for community members of all ages. The move comes as the lodge prepares to welcome artists-in-residence at the Dune House from November 15-19, 2016 where Longitude 131° guests can meet the artists and learn more about their work.
