Hi All, 

 

I work for NSW Aboriginal Land Council and we are looking for some aboriginal artwork, but as I can't see any details about the artist, how can i find out if it's an legitimate Aboriginal artwork done by a aboriginal artist? 

Would really appriciate some help. Thanks

You probably won't be able to get any closer to finding what you need than this site:

There is no way to find that out. You should not look on stock sites like Adobe for assets like this. You will need to contact artists directly so that they provide you with access to their work.

There is no way for a Buyer to directly contact an Adobe Stock Contributor; however, many Contributors use their real names on their portfolios, so you could try to Google them to obtain contact info.
