Baluk Arts is an urban Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander community Arts Centre located on the Mornington Peninsula, Victoria. Baluk is a Kulin Nation word meaning many or groups of people.

Their emerging and established artists hail from all over Australia, and their art is derivative of their individual cultural experience, identity, connection to people and Country. In the gallery you will find works on paper, traditional and contemporary paintings, prints, sculpture, jewellery, ceramics and woodwork/carvings.
