Roebourne Art Group represents Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander artists working in the West Pilbara, an area that is home to many different Aboriginal language groups. We are located in Yirramagadu or Roebourne town, fifteen hundred kilometres north of Perth.
The Ngarluma people hold the native title for the region, however there are many different language groups living in Roebourne. Despite the impact of colonization, and, most recently, the mining industry, Aboriginal culture has stayed strong, with Aboriginal people retaining their links to country and continuing to practice Birrdara law.
The Roebourne Art Group artists share their culture, country and stories through artwork. We represent artists in the towns of Roebourne, Karratha and Wickham, as well as the communities of Cheeditha, Weymul, and Ngurawaana.
We were established in 2005 to support the growing arts industry in the West Pilbara and since this time many of our artists have been exhibited both within Australia, and abroad.
The Roebourne Art Group headquarters are located at 27 Roe Street, this is also a sales/exhibition space where you can view work from the artists that we represent. | |
