Girringun Aboriginal Art Centre and Keeping Place

Established in 2008, the Girringun Art Centre is home to multi-award winning artists and craftsmen. Located in Cardwell, Queensland, Girringun represents artists from nine Traditional Owner Groups: the Nywaigi, Gugu Badhan, Warrgamay, Warungnu, Bandjin, Girramay, Gulngay, Jirrbal and Djiru people.

A living functioning Art Centre, it is not unusual to see artists in the workshop developing new work and honing their craft.

The stories and environments of this ancient culture are being transformed daily into visual images and designs by weavers, painters, potters, textile artists and makers of traditional objects.

These artists bring to life the unique cultural story and expression of the distinctive Aboriginal rainforest art traditions and culture of the Girringun region, to share with the world.

Open Monday to Thursday 8:30am to 5pm and Friday 8am to 2pm. Closed weekends.
