“The gallery was established in 2002 to display, promote and sell authentic Aboriginal art on behalf of the people of the Laverton and Western Desert areas.”
The art and craft on display was made by the local Wongi people from the lands of the North Eastern Goldfields extending into the Western Desert region. The artists have connections to the land and share their stories through their making.
The gallery is open Monday to Friday 8am - 4pm, and other times by appointment.
