Robyn Ayres is the Executive Director of the Arts Law Centre of
Australia, a position she commenced in September 2002. Robyn is
committed to achieving a fair go for artists having spent most of her
legal career working to achieve social justice for different groups in
the community.
Robyn worked extensively with the Aboriginal community in Australia as a
human rights lawyer. As a result Robyn saw the need to establish an
Arts Law service for Indigenous artists given the importance of the arts
and culture to Aboriginal peoples in establishing a firmer economic
base. Arts Law has just celebrated the first anniversary of their
Artists in the Black service.
Robyn had extensive involvement in the arts community of Western
Australia and was on the board of the Artists Foundation of Western
Australia for 4 years before taking up the position at Arts Law. She has
a BA LLB from the University of NSW.
