NGARUWANAJIRRI ORGANISATION – Art Activities

About This Project

About the project

For decades, Ngaruwanajirri has been providing a safe, clean community area for local artists to practise their art, helping and encouraging them with their work on Tiwi Island.

The previous managers of Ngaruwanajirri now live in Darwin and have assisted the residents of the ‘hostel for high need patients requiring dialysis’, with previous ABF support.

The need is for art materials – brushes, canvases and paint.

The group includes artists from Arnhem Land communities, the Tiwi Islands, and Central desert.

The project will assist these people to overcome loneliness, and boredom.

Sales of work may be possible through local art shops, and local Darwin art fairs.

How we helped

We provided a $3,500 grant.
