ECU learning designer Heather Pate said the public could join in the free activities on July 10.

She said there would be a display of original artworks, prints and crafts from the Yonga Boodjah Art Gallery in West Swan and a question-and-answer session with the artists.

Armadale resident Michelle Kickett, who uses the artist name Wilura, said she, her father Dennis (Noongali) and fellow artists Michael Cummings (Nugen) and Phil Narkle would have work on display.

"They are all local works based on Dreamtime stories," she said.

Visitors will also be able to go on self-guided tours of Aboriginal art installations around the campus, or join a guided tour of flora that will cover horticultural and Aboriginal perspectives.

They can also plant feet in the "Sacred Ground: The Sea of Feet" installation, do a touch-screen quiz and buy baked goods.
