TJUKURBA ART GALLERY

Located in Wiluna at the start of the Canning Stock Route, the Tjukurba Art Gallery is an initiative of the Wiluna Shire Council, providing a venue for local Martu cultural expression by ensuring the ethical production and sale of Indigenous art. Birriliburu artists paint in a variety of styles and palettes, depicting stories which embody a rich culture of Country, history and lifestyle. Images of the Canning Stock Route and the Rabbitproof fence are often central to the works. The Birriliburu artists are gaining recognition for paintings and works on paper through representation in the National Museum of Australia's Canning Stock Route Collection.
