JULUWARLU ART GROUP

Juluwarlu Art Group was established in 2016 in response to requests from members of the Yindjibarndi community who saw the potential of art as a way of further sharing and protecting Yindjibarndi stories, culture and language.

Juluwarlu Art Group now provides significant support and services to 15 artists, offering opportunities for skills development and enabling them to share their artworks and stories with a wider audience, thereby earning an income while expressing, maintaining, and celebrating Yindjibarndi culture. While predominantly working within the practice of acrylic painting on canvas, Juluwarlu artists have become known for their diverse art practices, which also include carved yarranga marni boards and scratchboards, wooden artefacts, fibre works, jewellery, and works on paper.

Juluwarlu is an Aboriginal owned and operated organisation that works from the ancestral homeland of the artists, Yindjibarndi Country, surrounded by the nearby Millstream Tablelands and Fortescue River area.

Juluwarlu also have a permanent studio space at Goolugatup Heathcote, so artists can travel to and work on Whadjuk Country, and where Juluwarlu products inspired by artworks, are designed and developed for sale.
