CHEEDITHA ART GROUP

Art making in leramagadu | Roebourne originated with members of the Cheeditha Community.

In 2002, the Bujee nhoor-pu project was set up in the historic Galbraith Store at Cossack for production and sales of artworks. The success of the Bujee nhoor-pu project spread to the broader community of Roebourne and artists went on to form other art groups and although Bujee nhoor-pu faded, the art legacy remains.

The revitalised Cheeditha Art Group carries on the commitment of those early artists and many of those practicing are relatives of the founders. Over half of each sale goes directly to the artist with the balance going to Cheeditha Art Group to support new projects and build the livelihoods of residents.
