Lockhart River is famous for the young and energetic group of artists who work at the Lockhart River Art and Culture Centre. They are known locally as �The Art Gang� (a work gang whose occupation is art work and related activities).
The Art Gang�s work is a contemporary response to the environment, culture and traditions of this isolated Aboriginal Community. It expresses some of the realities of being Aboriginal and the strong influences of traditional culture and values in their world.
