Bana Yirriji Art Cente, Wujul Wujul

Bana Yirriji Art Centre is located in Wujal Wujal Community, Far North Queensland.  The Centre opened in 2011 and is situated alongside the spectacular Bloomfield River, and is a short walk (1.5kms) from the famous Wujal Wujal Falls.

Bana – meaning water

Yirriji ­– describes the running waters between Bloomfield River Bridge & Wujal Wujal Falls

Bana Yirriji Art Centre is hosted by Wujal Wujal Aboriginal Shire Council and is a 100% community owned and governed not-for-profit social enterprise.  Artists receive 60% of the artwork sale price; the remainder is reinvested back into the Art Centre to fund arts and cultural projects such as trips to country, creative workshops and kids’ programs. The Centre also trains and employs local community members and is a great source of community pride.

Bana Yirriji Art Centre represents artists from the Yalanji, Nyungkul and Jalunji clan groups.  

Bama (local people) have had a long history of artistic expression, including ceremonial body painting, weavings made from local plants, rainforest shields and weaponry decorated with clan designs using earth pigments.

Today, artists create stunning contemporary arts and crafts; including paintings, prints, works on paper, textiles, weavings, artefacts and a range of merchandise. Artists draw on their rich cultural, historic, and contemporary stories and profound connection to country as inspiration.

Bana Yirriji Art Centre supplies artists with professional quality art materials and runs a studio space.  All artworks sold come with an artwork certificate and artist biography.

The Bana Yirriji Art Centre gallery is open to visitors. Admission Free

Of the North, For the North

We work to support artists achieve their aspirations. Artists set their prices and we add a standard service and marketing commission - this supports our not-for-profit programs and allows us to continually turn over the highest-quality artistic products.

Most artworks are one-offs and completely original in the iconic style of that artist; with the exception of intaglio and relief prints, which the organisation is renowned for. Check out our selection of limited-edition fine art printmaking.

Over 95% of the artists we support are from North Queensland. We work with both independent artists and those represented by commercial dealers and art centres.
