Ngukurr Art Centre sits a stone’s throw from the banks of the Roper River in Ngukurr, South East Arnhem Land. The Art Centre, like the town of Ngukurr, is unique – bringing together people of many different clans and language groups including Ngalakgan, Alawa, Mangarrayi, Ngandi, Marra, Warndarrang, Nunggubuyu, Ritharrngu-Wägilak and Rembarrnga. Together these clans are known as Yugul Mangi.
We are very happy to share that Wally Wilfred has been selected as a NATSIAA finalist in 2025!
And we also want to say a big congratulations to all the other finalists and art centres from around Australia.
We are looking forward to meeting up with everyone and having a fantastic show later in the year! ❤️

An arts centre marches on its stomach!
At Ngukurr that means scrambled eggs at 10.30, and today lunch was spaghetti bolognese 🥰.

We had a wonderful opening today at Outstation gallery in Darwin. Karen, Gwenneth, and Jill’s work looks amazing in the room 🥰.
Karen said a few words, then Gwenneth and Jill also spoke.
Big thanks to Paul and Matt and everyone at the gallery for everything.
If you are in Darwin you have a few weeks to take a look!

When we get out of the art centre we really start to get a feeling for how Gwenneth and Jill experience country through their art.
Next time though, we might go for a drive when it`s not the middle of the day and 40C!

We’ve been filming our Roper River neighbours with our drone 🐊Gwenneth is a huge fan and calls out to people passing by the art centre to come and watch the videos ☺️

The wet season is very late this year, but there is never any shortage of water, flowers, lilies, and lush plants in Gwenneth’s painting ❤️.
We are getting ready for a show in Darwin very soon! Stay tuned.
… and the cat? Comfort above all things - finding a nice cool place to sit, watch the painting, and sleep.

Benjamin Wilfred is an internationally renowned songman who is very active at Ngukurr Art Centre. Benjamin’s art heavily features traditional designs used in ceremony, and he’s working across a wide range of materials.
He is pictured here with our lovely cat Bangardi ❤️🐈

Wally Wilfred paints from tradition but uses his own style of bright, totally amazing colours. Wally is presenting a mix of old and newer work - acrylic on canvas, on paper, and prints - some still in plastic as they return from shows and art fairs. Come over to our website to see more.
