The Centre is a not-for-profit business that aims to preserve and promote Aboriginal cultural values of the area. We encourage participation by Aboriginal people in the arts and to promote local Aboriginal arts to the wider community.

The indigenous visual arts and crafts sector is absolutely central to cultural sustainability for Indigenous Australia and is a living demonstration of the continual connection to land, family, dreaming, culture and place that dates back many millennia. Arts practice is a fundamental part of the way of life for Indigenous artists and communities.

Part of the role of the Centre is to provide professional development for local artists in order to increase the scope of their work (e.g. painting, screen printing, pottery, carving etc.). We bring together community members to develop arts related enterprises involving art sales, exhibitions, tourism experiences and cultural maintenance.

The Centre also provides employment and income in a community where unemployment is very high and there are very few job opportunities.

Artists work at the Centre creating paintings, pottery, printed materials and other artworks. The Centre recently relocated to an old Supermarket which was renovated as an Art Centre and Gallery Space. It has plenty of space and is in a central location in the community, opposite the present community store. The Centre also serves as a gallery where visitors are welcome to browse and purchase artworks.

The Centre is supported financially by the Commonwealth's Indigenous Visual Arts Industry Support program (IVAIS) which we appreciate very much. Other sources of funding are income from art sales, other small grants and donations. Recent grants were obtained from NT Arts and the NT Community Benefit Fund.
