Original Aboriginal Art from Central Australia

Reviving culture – supporting community

Centre looking forward to welcoming winter visitors

The recently renovated Engawala Art Centre is opening its doors to visitors again this year. The Centre is based in the small Aboriginal community of Engawala, in Anmatjeree country, located off the Plenty Highway which connects Boulia in Queensland to Alice Springs.

The artworks our artists create reflect the local area with some of the common themes at Engawala being bush tucker, bush medicine and the fossil beds at nearby Alcoota Station.

We recently completed our second trip to the National Indigenous Art Fair in Sydney. Two artists, the Art Centre Manager and Coordinator made the journey. The fair had artworks from all over the country and our staff and artists really enjoyed the experience and sold a lot of paintings.

Darwin Aboriginal Art Fair

This year between the 7th and 10th of August we will have a stall at the Darwin Aboriginal Art Fair at the Darwin Convention Centre for the first time. We’ll be joined by over 80 fellow Art Centres from right across the country, selling exclusive pieces that you won’t find anywhere else. Drop by for a yarn, get involved in a workshop or material demonstration, enjoy a cultural dance performance, look through some incredible artworks - and pick yourself up something special!

DAAF is FREE to attend, with 100% of all sales going directly back to First Nation artists and their communities. If you cannot get there there will also be an online marketplace at www.2025.daaf.com.au
