Coming Soon
Signature Artwork by Justina Willis – ‘Our Country (The Pilbara)’
Colours of our Country shares the stories and customs of the Pilbara, showcasing a vibrant collection of artworks proudly exhibited by Rio Tinto.
100% OF ALL PROCEEDS GO DIRECTLY TO THE ARTISTS, ART CENTRES AND THEIR COMMUNITIES
Now in its 19th year, Colours of our Country has evolved from a pop-up exhibition commemorating 40 years of Rio Tinto iron ore operations in Western Australia, into a high-profile annual event, providing art-lovers the opportunity to connect with Pilbara Aboriginal artists and hear the stories that inspire their work.
This year’s exhibition will feature a high calibre of talented artists from across the Pilbara, including independent artists and participating art centres which include Yinjaa-Barni Art Centre, Cheeditha Art Group and Juluwarlu Art Group.
