**Portrait Painting Workshop – Fully Booked**

Thank you for the tremendous community response to our Yinggarda Elders Portrait Painting Workshop. Due to high demand, this event is now fully booked. The Community Art Hub will host another portrait workshop in the coming months. 

To register your interest, please email: communityarthub@carnarvon.wa.gov.au

We appreciate the community's enthusiasm for honoring our Elders through art.

Further details will be announced soon.

The Shire of Carnarvon Library & Art Gallery invites Expressions of Interest from artists to participate in Portraits of Yinggarda, a creative community art project. 

This is a unique opportunity for artists to connect with and paint a portrait of a Yinggarda Elder, celebrating their stories and legacy. The project, led by creative producer Gosia Taylor, will be a deep collaboration with the Elders themselves.

Selected artists will be invited to participate in a series of art classes commencing in September to develop their portraits in a supportive, collaborative environment. The final collection will be launched in an exhibition during Reconciliation Week 2026 and become a treasured part of the Shire’s Art Collection.

Expressions of Interest for artists to paint a portrait are open from 1 to 31 July.

Join us in creating art that celebrates, connects, and preserves cultural stories for future generations.
