Burrunju Art Gallery

Canberra's only Aboriginal-owned gallery sits beside Lake Burley Griffin, run as a not-for-profit by and for the local Indigenous community. The name Burrunju — meaning ruined city of Arnhem Land, resting place of the saltwater catfish totem — signals where this place comes from. Sales go directly back to artists; the space doubles as a working studio where paintings and artefacts are made, not just displayed.
