Kew-Y-Ahn Aboriginal Gallery
Hartley, NSW 2790 Australia Get Directions
Work by local Aboriginal painters, weavers, designers, jewellers and photographers from across the NSW Central West is shown and for sale in rotating exhibitions in the gallery space.
Kew-Y-Ahn is a gallery exhibiting work of Aboriginal artists of Central West NSW, located at Hartley Historic Site east of Lithgow.
The Kew–Y–Ahn Aboriginal Gallery project is a partnership between Arts OutWest, NSW National Parks and Wildlife Service and the NSW Department of Environment and Heritage.
The gallery receives 8000+ visitors a year.
Artworks are curated by Aboriginal Arts Development Officer Aleshia Lonsdale. National Parks manages the space and sales.
The gallery spreads over two rooms in the 1860s era Farmers Inn building and has been fitted with professional lighting and gallery hanging systems.
History has it that ‘Kew-Y-Ahn’ was the first word spoken by Aboriginal people to European explorers as they arrived in the Hartley area. The name was chosen in consultation with Mingaan Aboriginal Corporation.
