About Artists of Ampilatwatja

The Artists of Ampilatwatja community was established in 1999, 325km north east of Mparntwe (Alice Springs) in the Northern Territory. Ampilatwatja lies on Aherrenge country, the land of the Alyawarre people.

The work produced by our artists is unique and recognisably distinct from other Aboriginal artistic communities. The paintings pay homage to the significance and use of traditional bush medicine, allowing an insight into our community. We depict the traditional knowledge of dreaming and
country through the translation of waterholes and soaks, bush medicines, mountains and sand hills.

We predominantly paint Arreth (strong bush medicine), demonstrating our deep connection to country. A veritable source of life, the land has provided and sustained Alyawarr people for generations, as every plant and animal has a vital role to play within the ecological system.

Our art centre is a place where women across all generations can gather and pass on knowledge, share stories and practice and develop our art, while men also paint, carve and make wooden artefacts. Our art centre helps keep our culture strong.
