Yinjaa Barni Art is a collective of Aboriginal artists who [predominately belong to the Yindjibarndi language group and whose ancestral homelands surround the Fortescue River and Miillstream Tablelands.

Yinjaa Barni Art is a not-for-profit Aboriginal Corporation governed by an Aboriginal board of directors and run by an executive manager. Yinjaa-Barni is Yindjibarndi for ‘staying together’.

Yinjaa-Barni Art began sewing together in a hall at the back of Roebourne’s Pilbara Aboriginal Church in 2005, before moving to the heritage-listed Dalgety House in Roebourne on the banks of the Harding River in 2007.

When you visit the Yinjaa Bani Art Gallery & Studio you get the opportunity to not only purchase some unique Pilbara Aboriginal art but you will also meet the artists and see them creating their artwork.
