Milingimbi Art and Culture's mission is to preserve and foster Aboriginal Culture. The Centre facilitates the production of saleable artwork, decorated implements, instruments and objects and holds archival records of all artwork produced by its artists and cultural events that occur on the island.

Authentic artwork created at Milingimbi, a small island that is part of the Crocodile Island Group, approx 550km East of Darwin and 350km West of Nhulunbuy, in EAST ARNHEM LAND, NORTHERN TERRITORY, AUSTRALIA.
The Milingimbi Art and Culture Centre is home to beautiful paintings of ochre on bark and recently ochre on canvas and ochre on paper. Traditional arts and crafts - yidaki (didgeridoo), spears, shell necklaces, fighting sticks...all showing traditional markings and symbology that has been handed down thousand's of years to be told through artwork by artists young and old. Through their work they tell the stories of the Dreaming and the Creation of the land, stories that are their responsibility given to them by their mothers, fathers, grandfathers and grandmothers. They tell their stories with great pride and deep connections.
