AFTER two years in Euroa Nomad Art Gallery has now moved to a permanent home in Avenel.
In 2019 Nomad Art directors Angus and Rose Cameron relocated to the Strathbogie Shire and brought their Darwin based gallery to Euroa.
Nomad Art specialise in limited edition prints and textiles from remote Australian art centres.
The gallery represents First Nations artists from around 30 Aboriginal art centres across northern Australia, including the ancient lands of the Kimberly Ranges, the glimmering sands of the central and western deserts, the monsoon climates of the Top End and azure waters of the Arnhem Land coast.
Nomad Art operates an online gallery and is also open by appointment in Avenel for individuals or small groups who wish to view the collection or purchase high quality limited edition Australian art.

A recent innovation for Nomad Art is the establishment of a studio workshop in Avenel, where Angus and Rose will host visiting artists and facilitate art workshops.
The first of these will be presented by renown Australian paper maker Winsome Jobling in a 2–day introductory paper making workshop on March 19 and 20.
The papermaking class walks students through the process of turning plant fibre into handmade paper and onto experimental ways of incorporating imagery into the wet sheets.
A second workshop will be presented by master printer Basil Hall on April 8, 9 and 10.
Over three days Basil Hall will tutor participants in various techniques for creating beautiful collagraph prints.
The workshops are an exciting extension of Nomad Art activities as it offers creative stimulation in the community including a lecture series on Australian Aboriginal art in May and June.
Mr Cameron said that people are more aware of the richness and wisdom of Aboriginal cultures and what they offer to contemporary society.
"We hope to raise awareness of cross–cultural conversations and promote appreciation and reconciliation" Mr Cameron said.
"In doing so, we acknowledge the Tunguraung people and members of the Kulin Nation and have great respect for their continuing culture, country and heritage".
"Our key philosophy is to promote awareness through the visual arts by supporting cultural expression and intercultural dialogue," Mr Cameron said.
"Through Nomad Art we advocate the visual language as the communication of ideas, values, beliefs and culture."
Angus and Rose plan to present small exhibitions at their Avenel studio while continuing to operate online and by appointment.
The studio complex was recently refurbished by Euroa master craftsman and furniture–maker and Hugh Salmon.
