| Maningrida Arts & Culture is one of Australia’s largest Aboriginal artist’s co-operatives. It concentrates on the marketing of traditional and contemporary arts, including bark paintings, wooden sculpture, fibre craft, prints and items of material culture. Both traditional and non-traditional work from Maningrida has a reputation for quality, innovation, vibrancy and diversity. This is attributed to the cultural diversity of the Aboriginal people of the eight different language groups living in the Maningrida Township and in the 34 outstations. Given its reputation, interest in and demand for work from Maningrida is high. Artworks are represented in major galleries, museums and other public institutions, nationally and internationally. Private collectors are in regular contact with the centre and currently we deal with some 40 commercial galleries in Australia and overseas. |
