Warmun Art Centre

Warmun is an Aboriginal community in the Kimberley region of Western Australia. The town mostly consists of a roadhouse used as a stop off point for travellers heading to Purnululu National Park. The Aboriginal managed community has a population of around 400 people and is renowned for producing a number of internationally recognised artists. Warmun was previously called Turkey Creek after a nearby waterway, but is now named in the local Gija peoples language. Warmun Art Centre, +61 8 9168 7496 (sales@warmunart.com) . M-F 9AM-4PM. The centre is run by a thriving collective of artists who's work draws on traditional Ngarrangkarni (Dreaming) stories and the more prosaic events of daily life. Painting is the mainstay, but recent diversions into prints, jewellery, sculpture and craft have bolstered their range. Natural ochres and pigments are used in paintings, lending them a decidedly earthy patina and craft items use local materials. The centre provides meaningful work and a source of independent income for residents and profits from artwork are returned for the communities benefit. A verbal invitation to enter the community and visit the gallery must be gained by calling beforehand. The town doesn't extend much further a few steps from than the roadhouse. The community itself is across the road from the roadhouse but travellers are prohibited from entering without an invitation. © source | courtesy of http://wikitravel.org/
