About Injalak Arts and Crafts Centre
Injalak Arts and Crafts Centre is a community-owned Aboriginal art centre in Gunbalanya (Oenpelli) in West Arnhem, Northern Territory, about 300 km east of Darwin. Established in 1989, it supports Kunwinjku artists and is renowned for bark paintings, fibre weaving, wood carvings and hand-printed textiles. The centre includes a gallery, retail space and studios, and is the base for guided tours to the nearby Injalak Hill rock art site.
