About the Centre

The Aboriginal Cultural Centre and Keeping Place is a community based gallery where everyone can experience the diversity of Australian Indigenous arts and culture. Visitors can enjoy the permanent collection with its focus on arts and artefacts from New England and the works of artists from regional New South Wales. Touring exhibitions from major galleries and museums are also a feature of our programme. A small library, archival centre and research room is available for researchers. The Centre houses the Green Valley Collection, an extensive display of Aboriginal artefacts, artworks and utensils from throughout New South Wales. The Centre offers a number of unique experiences for touring groups, schools groups and individual visitors. These events must be booked in advance, and include Cultural talks, Koori painting workshops, Story-telling by local Elders, bush tucker, dance, didgeridoo playing and instruction, as well as guided tours of current exhibitions and the permanent collections by Koori staff. Special functions and catering can be provided on request. Guided tours of local rock art sites and horse riding in the gorges with the Buglun-gula organisation can also be arranged.
