Tjarlirli and Kaltukatjara Art

Tjarlirli & Kaltukatjara Art represents the artists of Tjukurla in the Ngannyatjarra lands of Western Australia, and Kaltukatjara in the Pitjantjatjara lands of the Northern Territory. The artwork has strong links with the Papunya Tula movement as families left Kintore and Kiwirrkurra to return to their homelands in the mid 1980s.

Together, the art centre now represents around 100 Ngaanyatjarra and Pitjantjatjara artists. We are one of the few community-owned and governed Aboriginal art centers that operate across state borders.

Often it is the only source of non-government income our families receive - artists are paid directly from the sale of our paintings. Additionally, community members are employed as arts workers who are vital to the daily operation and ongoing sustainability of the art centres.

We operate under the guidance of a six-member board, all of whom are artists and community members from Tjukurla and Kaltukatjara. These directors are elected by fellow artists. As a registered corporation under ORIC (Office of the Registrar of Indigenous Corporations), we adhere to strict governance structures and procedures.
