Paintings and prints by artists of the Balgo Hills

The small community of Wirrimanu (Balgo) in Western Australia has been home to some of Australia’s most extraordinary artists. Drawn from the Gallery’s collection, this exhibition will feature works by leading Aboriginal artists — including Eubena Nampitjin, Elizabeth Nyumi, Boxer Milner and Helicopter Tjungurrayi — to provide an insight into the strength of practice in the community over the past 40 years.
