Waringarri Arts

Waringarri Aboriginal Arts was the first wholly Indigenous owned art centre established in Western Australia during the early 1980s and is one of the oldest continuously operating art centres in Australia. Located in Kununurra, at the heart of Miriwoong Country in the East Kimberley, Waringarri Arts was founded by senior cultural leaders as a place of art and culture that would also support economic aspirations for artists and their community. 

Building on a timeless artistic tradition, Waringarri artists express the importance of Country and culture through contemporary art practices. The art centre supports more than 100 artists as painters, printmakers, wood carvers, boab engravers, sculptors, ceramic and textile artists.

Waringarri Arts is a not-for-profit organisation, with all proceeds from art sales, art commissions and cultural tourism returned to the community to support the ongoing program of arts and cultural projects.
