23.01.2022 Yamaji Art attended the NAIDOC career development Expo Day at Geraldton Senior High School today, we had an information booth & some of our art products were proudly displayed. We strongly encourgae our youth to consider a career in the arts industry. Be it as a practicing artist, arts administration or within an institution such as galleries and museums as curators. The Aboriginal arts industry is important to keep going and developing as it is a keeper of our stories, cultu...re and language. The next generation plays a key role in ensuring its survival.

13.01.2022 Yamaji art are so proud to announce that after almost 3 years working with the mint that a limited edition coin has been released. The coin is adorned with artwork by Christine Collard - Seven Jijas. The coin shares the sky story of the Nyarluwarri (seven sisters) which is a cluster of stars in the constellation Pledis. The story speaks of seven sisters who are pursed by a man. In order to escape, they all fly up into the night sky. ... The constellation is also used to help determine the weather patterns and hunting season each year. The coins release will be accompanied by a short 90 second film narrated by Charmaine Green. Thank you to the Royal Australian Mint, Christine Collard, Charmaine Green and art centre Manager Roni Jones for all your hard work and perseverance in making this come to fruition. https://www.downies.com/star-dreaming-seven-sisters-2020-1-

12.01.2022 Slip casting workshop day 2: today the creativity came through with artist learning how to mix various gradients of slip colours which are then applied as designs. The waiting process is a little more lengthy but well worth the wait.

11.01.2022 This discussion, along with many others across various sectors, continues. Why are existing and long term established Indigenous organisations/institutions/business never supported to 1) build capacity or 2) expand their human and physical resources in order to continue delivering what they do? Why do certain agencies always want to start all over again and support Non-Indigenous systems?

11.01.2022 Hey ladies (or gents!) Be the talk of a night out with this hand designed and painted zip clutch purse! Just $45 More can be seen on the DAAF website under artist Andrea Green-Ugle https://daaf.com.au//uncategorized/20-342-sunset-gathering/

11.01.2022 Thank you to the Aboriginal Art Centre Hub of Western Australia (AACHWA) for visiting our centre to deliver important systems and arts training to our artists staff and board members. The training seen artist engaged in lots of creative discussions around their journey as artist. Including best practices when creating art work as well as how to present and promote themselves as artist for maximum exposure and outcome. The training surely ignited the creative thinking as it... lead to an impromptu workshop! What better way to put learning into practice Thank you to all those who attended and to the facilitators Emilia Galatis and Chad Creighton. Aboriginal Art Centre Hub Western Australia
