Billy Missi

Billy Missi comes from Maluilgal country in Zenadh Kes (Mabuiag Island in Western Torres Strait, Australia). He is a part of the Wagedagam Tribe with the primary totem of Kodal (crocodile) and an associate member to the Dhanghal (dugong) clan of Panai to the East and the Kaigas (shovelnose ray) clan of Geomu to the South on the Island of Mabuiag.

 Missi grew up in the customary ways of his traditional culture and heritage in the Torres Strait. He comes from a well-respected generation of art practitioners and geographers of Mabuiag who have passed down the protocols, practices and heritage of the Torres Strait culture through storytelling, songs and dance.

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.
