Yaama Ganu Centre

Yaama Ganu Centre

Opening in January 2011 the Yaama Ganu Centre houses an Aboriginal Art Gallery and café trading as Café Gali. The centre, located in Moree New South Wales, was co funded by Aboriginal Employment Strategy (AES) and Indigenous Land Corporation (ILC). Under the guidance of project manager Sascha Estens and renowned Sydney restaurateur Toby Osmond, the centre offers hands on training to members of the local Indigenous community in all areas of hospitality.

The Yaama Ganu Gallery officially opened on the 31st of March with an exhibition of works Aboriginal Art from the Kamilaroi nation. Works were sourced from artists throughout the entire Kamailroi region including Walgett, Narrabri, Gunnedah, Boggabilla, Tamworth and of course, Moree. The Aboriginal Art Gallery has represented 25 Kamilaroi Artists from the region and the gallery will continue to exhibit and support Kamilaroi artists.

The gallery also sources its Indigenous art from remote Aboriginal communities nationwide. The art is purchased from Art Centres in WA, NT, SA and surrounding islands where selling art is often their only source of income. We have represented over 250 Indigenous Aboriginal artists from communities around Australia to date. We have put Moree on the ‘Aboriginal Art World’ map with our reputation growing and our name spreading throughout the region. "The centre's already provided a full tourist experience for passing travellers, and a fresh new face for the foodie scene for locals."

BAMM: Bank Art Museum Moree

BAMM
Bank Art Museum Moree

BAMM is a regional art museum with a difference. Situated in a town of less than 10,000 people, our exhibition program offers visitors the chance to engage with the best contemporary Australian art without travelling to larger metropolitan centres. Our publicly owned collection is one of Moree’s most important cultural assets and a wonderful attraction for the hundreds of thousands of tourists
that visit our town every year.

BAMM is a regional art museum offering opportunities for audiences to experience diverse contemporary arts practices. Established in 1988 with a Bicentennial grant from the Department of Aboriginal Affairs, BAMM grew from a groundswell of support for a cultural landmark to bring Moree’s community together in the spirit of reconciliation. Today we hold the one of the most significant collections of Aboriginal paintings in regional NSW and offer an invitational Kamilaroi Artist Residency. The collection features works by internationally recognised Australian artists as well as those working in North West NSW. BAMM’s annual program features a changing schedule of exhibitions, including national touring shows and semi-permanent collection displays.

We continue to be supported by an active cultural community known as Friends of BAMM. Membership benefits include invitations to exhibition openings, free entry to our monthly Art After Dark events, as well as 25% off art classes and venue hire. Our education activities include exhibition and back of house tours, artist and curator talks, and art classes for all ages.
