About

Right beside Maruku at the Uluru visitors Centre, Walkatjara Arts is the Aboriginal owned, not-for-profit art centre belonging to Mutitjulu community. Located at the base of Uluru in the Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park, Australia, is a vibrant centre of Indigenous Australian art and culture. This unique art centre is not just a gallery but a working space where local Anangu artists create and display their art. It stands as a testament to the rich artistic traditions of the Anangu people and offers a rare, authentic insight into the cultural heritage of the region.

The centre’s long-term reputation is built on its commitment to supporting local Indigenous artists, providing them a space to work, and a platform to share their stories and traditions through art.

Walkatjara Arts is celebrated for its diverse range of contemporary Aboriginal artworks, including paintings, woodwork, and crafts. These contemporary pieces often blend traditional methods and stories with modern artistic expressions, creating a vibrant and evolving representation of Anangu culture. This dynamic collection showcases the adaptability and creativity of Indigenous Australian art, making Walkatjara a significant centre for cultural preservation and artistic innovation.
