Ampilatwatja

Established in 1999, the Artists of Ampilatwatja community is located 325 km northeast of Alice Springs, on Aherrenge country, the land of the Alyawarre people. The art centre is renowned for its distinctive paintings that honor traditional bush medicine, depicting waterholes, soaks, mountains, and sand hills. These artworks reflect a deep connection to the land, with each piece layered with sacred knowledge concealed beneath delicate dots. The centre serves as a gathering place for women across generations to share stories and develop art, while men carve wooden artefacts, strengthening cultural ties. Artists regularly exhibit in reputable galleries nationwide and internationally, participating in events like the National Indigenous Art Fair in Sydney, Darwin Aboriginal Art Fair, and Desert Mob in Alice Springs. The Artists of Ampilatwatja is proudly an Aboriginal-owned and governed corporation, supporting ethical practices in the creation and sale of Indigenous art.
