Tangentyere Artists
Established in 2005, Tangentyere Artists is a not-for-profit enterprise and a hub for art activities across the Town Camps (the name describing 18 Alice Springs Aboriginal housing associations). Through their art, Town Camp Artists communicate stories about their families, identity and lives. Their art practice aims to highlight the everyday experience of Aboriginal people in Central Australia. When sharing stories, Artists place themselves in the national conversation, working towards understanding and reconciliation. Tangentyere is an Arrernte word meaning coming together, working together.
Tangentyere Artists support emerging and established Town Camp Artists through our studio, outreach program and gallery. The art centre is committed to innovative, sustainable and fine art outcomes. To support young artists, the online store Town Camp Designs was created in 2020. Your purchase directly supports Town Camp Artists, with all profit going towards artists fees and future projects.

Yarrenyty Arltere Artists
‘We have been working for many years doing our art. Working hard. When we sew, the stress can calm down. The art room is a place for us to talk, tell stories and to just keep going.’
—Marlene Rubuntja
Yarrenyty Arltere Artists is the vibrant beating heart of the Yarrenyty Arltere Town Camp in Mparntwe (Alice Springs). Established in 2000 as a response to the chronic social issues the community were facing at that time, it has now, after many years of hard work and love, become an internationally recognized Art Centre. The beautiful soft sculptures that the Centre is renowned for, made from recycled bush dyed blankets, stitched and embellished, are held in major public and private collections across Australia and Internationally.
Working in soft sculptures, textiles, etchings and film this small but dynamic Art Centre has given opportunity, voice and income to people that too often find themselves marginalized.
Rich in personality and defiance, Yarrenyty Arltere Artists continues to be shaped by the artists and community that hold it so strongly and proudly as their own.
