The Welcome Day on 29 February, 2020 included performances and presentations by Henrietta Marrie, NorthSite Contemporary Arts (formerly KickArts), Yirrganydji Dancers and many others, showcasing the centre’s focus on visitor engagement with the work of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Island artists and organisations.

We hope all those travelling down Abbott Street enjoy the dynamic digital screen, painting the facade in various moods night and day through the featured Indigenous artwork it showcases. The centre is designed to invite public interaction with its shady colonnades, streetfront cafe and inspiring new retail space for NorthSite leading to the galleries within. Bulmba-ja (in both Yidinji and Yirrganjdji meaning ‘home’ ) is also a hive of activity on the upper level where the arts pracitioners weave their magic.
