Discover Pilbara Art: Artists, Galleries & Creative Places
The Pilbara is known worldwide for its extraordinary landscapes — ancient ranges, red earth, rugged coastline, and vast open spaces. But across this remarkable region is another story worth discovering: a diverse and growing community of artists, makers, photographers, galleries, art centres and creative spaces.
The Pilbara Art Collective was created to make that creative community easier to discover and connect with.
From Karratha and Roebourne to Port Hedland, Newman, Tom Price, Onslow, and communities across the wider Pilbara, artists create work inspired by place, culture, landscape, community, and life in regional Western Australia.
Discover Pilbara artists
The Pilbara is home to painters, photographers, ceramicists, jewellery makers, textile artists, designers and other creatives working across an incredible variety of styles and mediums.
Some draw directly on the region's colours and landscapes, while others explore contemporary ideas, personal stories, and experimental practices.
Through the Pilbara Art Collective artist profiles, you can meet local artists, learn more about their creative practice and discover the stories behind their work.
Buy art made in the Pilbara
Supporting regional artists doesn’t have to mean waiting for the next exhibition or market.
The Pilbara Art Collective online marketplace brings work from Pilbara artists and makers together in one place, making it easier for people locally and further afield to discover and purchase original art and handmade pieces.
The collection includes original paintings and works on paper, photography and prints, ceramics, jewellery, textiles, cards, homewares and other locally created pieces.
Every purchase also supports an artist living and creating in regional Western Australia.
