Warmun Art Centre

Warmun Art Centre

Established in 1998 by artists of the Warmun (Turkey Creek) community, the Warmun Art Centre is owned and managed by the Warmun artist group. Warmun is a small Aboriginal community, 200 kilometres south of Kununurra in far north Western Australia. The community is home to nearly 600 people who are mainly Gija speakers, but there are also Aboriginal people from other language groups.

Artists from Warmun and associated communities are renowned for their use of natural ochre and pigments on canvas, which is integral to the expression of their Gija culture and connection to country. The artists draw on traditional Ngarrangkarni (Dreaming) stories as well as contemporary events and experiences of the artists.
