Jilamara Arts & Craft Association is located in Milikapiti on Melville Island. Jilamara has grown into a highly respected art centre servicing the needs of 60 local Tiwi artists. The artists at Jilamara are renowned for their dedicated use of natural ochres across the mediums of painting, Tungas (ceremonial bark bags), Tutini poles and carvings. Jilamara has also produced an extensive body of limited edition prints. Artists at the centre participate in an ongoing program of both commercial and public gallery exhibitions and are represented in many major collections. Jilamara Arts and Craft is a member of the Tiwi Art Network who organizes art buying trips to the Tiwi art centres. Art buying trips are available through the Tiwi Art Network
