BiographyHistory

Baluk Arts is a collective of urban Aboriginal artists from Frankston and Mornington Peninsula whose work reflects themes of identity in a contemporary cultural context. The artists are celebrating the first year of operation of their newly formed Victorian Aboriginal arts organisation with an exciting and successful workshop program, quality exhibitions and delivery of artist services.

Artists range from ten to sixty two years of age and are from diverse Aboriginal backgrounds. Family groups and members of the stolen generation have reconnected with their culture and express their histories through strong artistic practices to support their cultural and creative well being.

Baluk Arts encourages community development, youth leadership, participation and interaction, and Indigenous governance through innovative arts practice. Baluk Arts is building a long-term and sustainable future for Aboriginal people of Frankston and Mornington Peninsula. Baluk is a local Boonwurrung word meaning clan or extended family group.
