ROEBOURNE ARTS DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM

Building sustainable arts careers is at the heart of what we do. We're proud to have just wrapped up a fantastic two-day workshop at the Ngurin Centre in Roebourne with Mark Chapman, as part of our ongoing partnership with the Roebourne Arts Development Program (RADP).

Mark delivered workshops for Yinjabarndi and Ngarluma artists focusing on paper and pigment revolution; linen stretching and priming; and painting using mixed media on canvas and linen.

Our role as a key facilitator is to connect local Aboriginal art groups — like Cheeditha, Juluwarlu, and Yinjaa-Barni — with leading arts professionals. Through hands-on professional development and creating exhibition opportunities, we help empower artists to share their unique cultural stories with the world.

This initiative is all about fostering long-term creative and economic independence for artists in the Pilbara region. We are committed to supporting these vibrant art centres and the incredible talent they nurture.
