DJILPIN ARTS

DJILPIN ARTS works on Country with kin and culture across generations. Their activities are rich in spirit, bringing healing to the community and linking traditional knowledge with modern enterprise. Ghunmarn Culture Centre is the heart of Djilpin Arts, located in its cultural precinct in the centre of Beswick community. Its Blanasi Collection is a permanent showcase of culturally significant art works in the West Arnhem painting style and curated by late Elder and dijeridu master, David Blanasi.
