The genesis of Merrepen Arts of the Nauiyu Nambiyu (Daly River) Community was a meeting in the community in 1984 to discuss establishing a women's resource centre.
Merrepen Arts is a well established arts centre with around 20 artists working in a variety of traditional and contemporary mediums painting regularly in a custom designed art centre.
The Festival is a major regional cultural event and a solid community enterprise based on cultural pride and Indigenous knowledge.
