Frequently Asked Questions
What is Reconciliation Action Plan (RAP) artwork?
How do we commission a First Nations artist for our RAP?
It starts with a yarn. You tell me about your organisation, your RAP journey and where the artwork will live — I listen for the story that's genuinely yours to tell. From there I develop the concept, paint the original work, and provide everything you need to use it properly, with the cultural story documented alongside the artwork.
How much does RAP artwork cost?
It depends on the scope — a single artwork with a usage licence is a different project to a full visual system rolled out across an organisation. Every commission is quoted individually after our first conversation, with no obligation. The honest answer: tell me what you're hoping for, and I'll give you a clear price before any commitment.
Can we use the artwork across our branding, reports and merchandise?
Yes — that's usually the point. Commissions include a licensing agreement that sets out exactly where and how the artwork can be used, so your team can roll it out with confidence. I can also extend the artwork into a full visual system: brand elements, document design, signage and beyond.
How long does it take to process an order?
RAP artwork is original art commissioned by an organisation as part of its Reconciliation Action Plan — a visual story of its commitment to reconciliation. Done well, it's not decoration; it becomes the heart of how an organisation communicates that commitment, appearing everywhere from the RAP document itself to offices, reports, uniforms and digital channels.
Do you only work in Adelaide, or Australia-wide?
I'm based on Kaurna Country in Adelaide and work with organisations right across Australia — government, corporate and community. Most projects run smoothly from anywhere; for larger commissions there's nothing like being on Country together, and travel can be part of the project.
Commission a First Nations artist directly, make sure the story behind the artwork is genuine rather than generic, and ensure the artist's connection and voice travel with the work. As an Arrernte and Jingili artist, every piece I create carries its story in writing — who made it, what it means, and how to speak about it respectfully.
Share information about your brand with your customers. Describe a product, make announcements, or welcome customers to your store.
Are you Supply Nation certified?
Yes — Kalli Wall Art is Supply Nation certified, which means commissioning artwork or design counts toward your organisation's Indigenous procurement targets. For many government and corporate clients, that ticks the procurement box and the reconciliation commitment in one.
