Kuju Aborignal Arts & Crafts
Home to the Giant Gulda (Sleepy Lizard) Kuju Arts and Crafts is an Aboriginal owned workshop and gallery. The air-conditioned facility showcases local aboriginal art and craft including silk paintings, acrylic on canvas paintings, jewellery, bush medicines, wood artefacts, painted and carved emu and ostrich eggs, souvenir pieces and much more.
All pieces are available for purchase. A high percentage of the sale goes directly back to the artist whilst the remaining is returned to Kuju Arts and Crafts.
Upon visiting the centre visitors have the chance of meeting the artists who may be working at the Kuju workshop on the day and ask them questions about their art.
Tour groups, school workshops and visits are encouraged by Kuju and the artists, which also helps to promote the indigenous culture and understanding of Aboriginal art, helping with the reconciliation process. The school visits are generally made by prior arrangement with small groups encourage which creates a more knowledgeable experience and the chance to have one on one time with the local artists. Tours can also be arranged of the Mallee Park facilities, which include the Youth shed, Gidja Club and the Mallee Park Football clubrooms, which has around nine former players now playing in the Australian Football League.
Kutu Arts and Crafts is situated alongside Port Lincoln Aboriginal Community Council (PLACC) on Ravendale Road, the main road to the Port Lincoln Marina. Through PLACC a conference room is available and catering can also be provided for functions or evens if required.
Disabled access is available with wide sliding doors and no steps throughout both Kuju Arts and Crafts and the PLACC building.
