ABOUT THE ART CENTRE
Barkly Regional Arts represents over fifty Aboriginal artists living in five remote communities across the Barkly region: Mungkarta, Kulumindini (Elliott), Owairtilla (Canteen Creek), Tennant Creek and Wutunugurra (Epenarra). The Collective includes seven language groups; Alyawarr, Kaytetye, Mudburra, Jingili, Waramungu, Warlpiri and Warlmanpa.
The Artists of the Barkly employ contemporary mediums to celebrate and preserve ancient cultures and languages. The vast breadth of variety in work made across the Collective reflects its cultural diversity, whilst shared elements of visual language illustrate the role of art centres in multi-generational knowledge-sharing.
The Collective is facilitated by Barkly Regional Arts, a not-for-profit multi-disciplinary art centre based on Waramungu Country. Barkly Regional Arts collaborates with remote Indigenous communities to foster access, development, and recognition of arts in the Barkly.
ABOUT THE ROLE
Working under the direction of the Visual Arts Manager, the Studio Coordinator coordinates the day-to-day operations of the Tennant Creek Art Studio. You'll keep the studio running smoothly, including material preparation, artwork documentation, database maintenance, artist support and studio sales. This role is hands-on and community focused.
The Studio Coordinator is based at Barkly Regional Arts in Tennant Creek. At times you will be required to travel to outstation studio sites and other locations to support Barkly Regional Arts' participation in arts, cultural and community events.
