Little Yengo Gallery

The Aboriginal paintings and artefacts in this award winning gallery embody the meaning of Wollombi , ‘meeting place’. Artists, both local and from afar share tradition and continuous connections with country. As many of our artists live in remote areas of Australia, this not-for- profit gallery is run and maintained by community volunteers. Please come and enjoy our ever-changing works, the stories they tell and videos of local corroborees.
