{The word Boomalli is taken from 3 Language/tribal groupings Gamailerio, Bundgulung and the Wiradjuri
Making a mark is not only about art it is about expressing a repressed voice within the history of Australia, exhibiting and promote Aboriginal art on our own terms.
It has only been within the last 30 years that Aboriginal art has been taken out of a sterile ethnographic museum context and recognized as an aestetic and cultural expression as unique as the landscape that it often depicts.
Boomalli is a resource centre for Aboriginal artists as well as the wider artistic community and continues to make a mark on art and culture in Australia today.}
