The Mowanjum Art Studio

The Mowanjum Art Studio

Go along to the studio space where young and old gather to create and inspire one another. It is a meeting place for the people of Mowanjum. It is also a place for artists from communities along the Gibb River Road, through the Kimberley Coast, and as far away as Kalumburu. You can join other artists to get creative and have a yarn. You can carve boab nuts or translate your art onto screen printing. Together you can build on a centuries-long history of artistic practice. Every day in the workshop, artists mix paint, crush ochre, stretch and prime canvases, and construct stretcher frames. Throughout the year, the workshop hosts a range of creative training opportunities, including pearl shell or wood carving.
