Godinymayin Yijard Rivers <strong>Arts</strong> and Culture Centre gallery@gyracc.org.au PO Box 613, Katherine, NT 0850 Godinymayin Yijard Rivers <strong>Arts</strong> and Culture Centre was established in 2012 as the flagship cultural facility for the Katherine Region, and recently marked our 10th anniversary as the region’s gathering place. Our founders were a visionary group of local artists, elders, civic leaders, business owners, pastoralists, educators, and government partners who wanted to make a special place for the community. And they did. Over the past decade, Godinymayin has become a community hub that now presents theatre, music, cabaret, exhibitions, lectures, comedy, cinema, and civic events—and is also home to workshops, conferences, corporate functions, and hired activities of every kind. Our facilities comprise a welcoming lobby, the Lambert Gallery for visual arts programming, the K Space Gallery, the Laneway Gallery, a cafe and retail shop, and a large multi-function performing arts venue and meeting space. This year an expanded Godinymayin will begin to appear. Thanks to a Northern Territory Government <strong>Arts</strong> Trail investment, we are developing expanded indoor cultural facilities and a brand new outdoor amphitheatre and covered deck cafe area for the region's residents and visitors to enjoy. Our non-profit organisation is governed by a board of 12 community leaders— including representatives from the Jawoyn, Wardaman and Dagoman people. We are managed throughout the year by a small team of dedicated arts professionals who are passionate about the the community, cultural identity, and creative opportunities and celebrations. We work hard to perpetuate and grow our founding vision, and ensuring a special place in Katherine where creativity, culture, and heritage will always come together and thrive. We at Godinymayin are also grateful for the ongoing partnership and exchanges with the region’s arts centres, and to our principal partners the Northern Territory Government and Katherine Town Council. In everything, we do, our organisation acknowledges the Traditional Owners of the land and region we inhabit—the Jawoyn, Wardaman and Dagoman people —and their Elders past, present, and emerging. Special Thanks to Godinymayin team for their dedication and hard work: Caitlin Backhouse, Jessy Moss, Janet Schultz, Roxy Collins, Talisha Ellis, Nathan Lennard, Jules Renner and Brianna Lennard. With your help and participation, our new performance venue will bring great cultural events and dry season programming—and make a more dynamic Katherine Region. .
