Yarliyil has over 80 artist members. This includes permanent members of the Halls Creek Community, nearby communities such as Billiluna, Ringer Soak and Yiyili and family members staying for extended periods of time from Balgo, Kumunurra and other communities. 

The prominent language groups of artists working at the art centre are Jaru, Gija and Walmajarri, but Yarliyil welcomes all indigenous peoples who find themselves in Halls Creek.

The artworks produced at Yarliyil are known for their vibrant colours, intricate patterns, and deep connection to the land and cultural stories of the artists.

The paintings often depict Dreamtime stories, bush medicines and foods, animals and country or ancestral lands.

Connection to culture is central to the art practice, making works both visually striking and culturally meaningful.
