Tjulyuru Regional Arts
Gallery
Opened
in October 2000, the gallery is not just an exhibition and performance
venue – it aims to be the regional centre for Ngaanyatjarra culture.
It is a new period in a program that has evolved from the establishment
of the Warburton Arts Project in 1990. Tentative paintings
in acrylic were followed by confident works, also rock art projects,
artglass, sound recordings and festival production. Central to the project
has been the documentation and acquisition of a representative collection
of this material. This is the most substantial collection of Aboriginal
art in the country under the direct ownership and control of Aboriginal
people.
The Warburton Collection
has toured globally. Predicated on cultural maintenance, the Project
is recognised for programmes which are developed with respect to community
values, gender and generational protocols and economic viability.
The Tjulyuru Regional
Arts Gallery welcomes visitors with an exhibition programme based on
the lifestyles, histories and vibrant stories of the Ngaanyatjarra.
