Girringun Art Centre supports the Indigenous Art Code and is a member of the Indigenous Art Centre Alliance (IACA).

The fellowship will allow Philip and Nephi to travel to Melbourne to look at traditional objects from this area in the Melbourne Museum. “I make a lot of string and I want to make a fish trap and turkey trap. Ms Hoolihan commented that:  This project originated out of community interest in the cultural material from the Girringun region collected by South Australia Museum, including rare objects never displayed publicly and never with Traditional Owner involvement. “The artists and the art centre have gained a reputation for producing quality work and it is our aim to support artists to develop their arts practice and achieve great outcomes.

The Museum of Tropical North Queensland in Townsville is the first venue of a national tour of artworks and cultural objects from the rainforest people of the Girringun region. The traditional country of these groups covers some 25,000 square kilometres of country in the state's far-North. “The last time I saw one made was by my father Andy Denham.

The stories and environments of this ancient culture are being transformed daily into visual images and designs by weavers, painters, potters, textile artists and makers of traditional objects.

“Alison adds this award to earlier successes which includes being a finalist of the 2016 Indigenous Ceramic Art Awards in Shepparton and represented in the prestigious annual exhibition, Salon des Refuses in Darwin in 2016. Opened recentlyby Girringun Chairperson and Gugu Badhun Traditional Owner Ms Pat Hoolihan, this touring exhibition was made possible with funding from Visions Australia. “Nephi saw a turkey trap when he went down earlier this year. Located in Cardwell, Queensland, Girringun represents artists from nine Traditional Owner Groups: the Nywaigi, Gugu Badhan, Warrgamay, Warungnu, Bandjin, Girramay, Gulnay, Jirrbal and Djiru people. These artists bring to life the unique cultural story and expression of the distinctive Aboriginal rainforest art traditions and culture of the Girringun region, to share with the world. “My culture is very important to me and this means that I will be able to continue the work of my parents,” Philip said.

Emerging from the rainforest canopy and a culture spanning countless generations, the work of Girringun artists is attracting a lot of attention. Artists from 5 communities Ernabella, Erub, Girringun Aboriginal Art Centre, Hermannsburg and the Tiwi islands had work displayed in a combined exhibition which will tour later in 2017. “We began our association with the event at the very first CIAF in 2009,” Girringun Aboriginal Art Centre Manager Valerie Keenan said.
