Join us for a fun kids’ art workshop where young artists will create their own small canvas inspired by Yinjaa-Barni Aboriginal art.

Children will explore colours, patterns, and storytelling through paint, learning how art can reflect Country, community, and connection. A hands-on, creative session perfect for curious minds and little makers.

Yinjaa-Barni Art is a collective of Aboriginal artists who predominantly belong to the Yindjibarndi language group and whose ancestral homelands surround the Fortescue River and Millstream Tablelands. Based in Roebourne, a small town in Western Australia’s Pilbara region of the Northwest of the state, the Yinjaa-Barni artists create deeply personal works of collective memory, rendering the wildflowers, river systems and landforms of their country onto canvas. In the Yindjibarndi language, ‘yinjaa-barni’ means ‘staying together’. 

Yinjaa-Barni Art began painting together at Roebourne’s Pilbara Aboriginal Church in 2005, before moving to the heritage-listed Dalgety House on the banks of the Harding River in 2007. A peaceful space where artists paint together, Yinjaa-Barni artists warmly welcome you to their open studio and gallery, open to the public on weekdays. Visitors can watch the artists paint and hear more about their stories.
