Goodbye to Our Beloved LongHouse
It is with a heavy heart that we have closed our beloved LongHouse. So grateful for all the people and organisations that supported Nayri Niara establishing a cultural communal hub in the heart of Nipaluna / Hobart. The LongHouse was a home hearth for our offerings that included the Home HEARTh Markets, our many mentoring programs and our Well-being experiences.
We are taking this time to reconsider where and how we would like to find a new home that can see us all flourish.
Heres an insight into some of what the LongHouse venue provided:
We used our space to celebrate community, cultural & WellBeing events, workshops & Urban Retreats. We also offer the LongHouse for private events where we can provide cultural experiences, nutritional & medicinal food offerings, space styling or simply the LongHouse space that you can personalise to suit your event.
When you book an event at The LongHouse, you’re supporting our work as an Indigenous Social Enterprise.
Nayri Niara’s Indigenous Social Enterprise helps strengthen relationships between Indigenous & non-Indigenous communities, creates job opportunities & skills, & helps us in our mission to ‘Close the Gap’ for Indigenous people.
For more information, learn about Nayri Niara’s “Our Way Home” Program.
Connection to Indigenous Culture
As an Indigenous Social Enterprise, we encourage the sharing & inclusion of Aboriginal Culture, ceremony, knowledge sharing, & design elements to enhance the experience of the LongHouse space & your event.
Inside the LongHouse you will find an array of Indigenous artworks from the Chosen exhibition, CULTIVATE monthly Indigenous & non-Indigenous artist program, & Warren Mason’s original Tin Camp Studio.
Cultural Offerings:

The Creation Story of The LongHouse
In October 2018 the Nayri Niara Good Spirit Family engaged a traditional Indigenous practice of cleansing Country before 'business' could be conducted at the development site of the future LongHouse.
The artwork pictured below spans the entire size of what is now the LongHouse. The artwork and awakening ceremony, created & held by local Indigenous community, symbolises and honours Country, Indigenous history and culture.
