The Vision

Wurinbeena shares and celebrates the strength, richness and diversity of Aboriginal culture through our Studio Gallery and the creation of Gunyah, a wandering arts venue and installation, designed for the contemporary presentation of Aboriginal arts and culture.

Wurinbeena has a local imperative to ensure Aboriginal culture in East Gippsland is visible and positively represented, and a global aspiration to showcase Aboriginal arts and culture across Victoria, Australia and beyond.
