About Iltja Ntjarra Art Centre

Iltja Ntjarra is a not-for-profit Art Centre, proudly Aboriginal owned and directed. The centre started operating in 2004 to provide a place for Western Aranda artists to come together to paint, share and learn new techniques and ideas. The centre has a special focus on supporting the ‘Hermannsburg School’ style watercolour artists, who continue to paint in the tradition of their grandfather and relative, Albert Namatjira, arguably one of Australia’s most famous artists of the 20th century.

The artists painting at Iltja Ntjarra Art Centre today do so with an eye to the future and the past, thereby closing a loop. Over the past ten years, Iltja Ntjarra artists have consistently experimented with new materials, methods, source material, processes and scale. In recent projects, their work has been transformed into fashion and incorporated into light projections. They have developed a strong collaborative practice and asserted a powerful political voice. This has all been done with a continued commitment to create landscape paintings of their traditional land.
