Art Centres are an integral part of each community

The art centres visited on an Aboriginal Art Connections experience are all aboriginal owned and operated, ensuring that all proceeds from the sale of art works provide a direct benefit to the artists and the communities.

These centres are an integral part of each community, providing the means for local artists to have their work distributed to galleries and collectors world wide. Many are also an artistic hub in the community, with artists sharing ochres, tools and resources, or just coming together socially.

Warmun Art Center


Warmun Art Centre celebrates the expression of Gija culture through the arts. The Art Centre was established in 1998 by leading artists of the Warmun (Turkey Creek) community. The Centre is wholly owned and managed by the Warmun artist group, and 100% of income from sales is returned back to the community.

The Warmun Art Centre provides artists with economic independence and the opportunity to share their Gija culture and country with visitors. Warmun Art Centre operates an artists’ studio and gallery space that is owned and governed by the Gija artists. Because of this, buyers can be assured of ethical sales. Warmun Art’s architect-designed exhibition space opened in 2007 displays paintings, etchings, books and cards. Viewing the display of Warmun’s artistic and cultural diversity creates an invaluable experience for visitors.

Warmun Art Centre is located amid the spectacular scenery of the East Kimberley, Western Australia. The Centre is located in the Warmun (Turkey Creek) Community, halfway between Halls Creek and Kununurra, along the Great Northern Highway. The centre is open from Monday to Friday 9 am till 4pm.

Entry to Warmun Art Centre:
A verbal permit is required to enter the Warmun (Turkey Creek) Community.
