welcome to the big barge art centre

The Big Barge Art Centre is an inspiring new art space set for you to discover on the beautiful and remote Cocos (Keeling) Islands. The art centre provides visitors with an opportunity to view, buy or create artworks that truly capture the beauty of this pristine coral atoll.

The Big Barge Art Centre is dedicated to fostering all areas of art and community art practice within the islands. The centre incorporates a working artists studio for you to visit and talk to the artists and an extremely unique local art gallery.

Be inspired by checking out our original and colourful artworks by local artists or allow yourself to engage creatively in the islands by attending a dynamic and fun filled art course. To really recharge your spirit and inspire your work, come onboard for an art retreat and allow yourself to get back in touch with nature, art and life in a truly magical environment.
