Each year, since 2003, artists have created individual works which together make up the Garma Panel. In 2003, more than 60 artists created etchings from which prints were made. The prints also formed a collaborative panel, measuring 2.5 x 1.6 metres. The individual and collaborative works are now for sale.
The Yothu Yindi Foundation (YYF) through the Garma Festival and other programs has three primary aims:
- create economic opportunities for Yolngu through education, training, employment and enterprise development
- nurture and maintain traditional cultural practices
- share knowledge and culture, thereby fostering greater understanding between Indigenous and non-Indigenous Australians
The YYF is a not-for-profit Aboriginal charitable organisation with full tax exemption and gift deductibility status.
All revenue from the Garma Shop and donations goes to the operation of the YYF's projects and programs.
In March 2007, the Alliance Francaise hosted a photographic exhibition: A celebration of Yolngu culture. These photos are for sale.
