Gapuwiyak Culture and Arts
Overview
The new Gapuwiyak Culture and Arts Centre is on the shores of stunning Lake Evella in the community of Gapuwiyak, 220km west of Nhulunbuy. The arts centre is community owned and operated and sells locally produced works as well as housing its own collection.
The arts centre supports over 100 artists from Gapuwiyak and surrounding homelands, and assists artists to collect and prepare materials, make high-quality art, explore ideas, develop knowledge and skills, exhibit, market and sell their work.
The Gapuwiyak Culture and Arts Centre is a great place to visit if you are travelling the Central Arnhem Rd. Just 24km off the main road, its relaxed and friendly atmosphere make it a perfect place to stop and rest, have a coffee and explore the art centre.
To enter the community of Gapuwiyak and visit the arts centre a Travel Permit is required from the Northern Land Council.
Gapuwiyak Culture and Arts Centre also frequents the Nhulunbuy Corporation Community Markets where you can purchase items from a small range of their stunning works.
