Original Aboriginal Art from Central Australia

Reviving culture – supporting community

Engawala Art Centre in Central Australia is once again opening its doors to visitors this year, welcoming everyone to experience the rich cultural heritage of the region. The Centre is situated in the small, close-knit Aboriginal community of Engawala, located within the traditional lands of the Anmatjeree people. It lies just off the Plenty Highway, a significant route that links the town of Boulia in Queensland with the vibrant hub of Alice Springs in the Northern Territory. The artworks created by our talented artists are deeply inspired by the surrounding landscape and culture. Common themes explored at Engawala include bush tucker, traditional bush medicine, and the remarkable fossil beds found at the nearby Alcoota Station. To learn more about Engawala Art Centre, our strong connection to the fossil beds, or to explore our online Gallery and Shop, please click on the tabs located at the top of this page.

Engawala Art Centre is funded and supported by a range of organisations including the Commwealth Government’s Indigenous Visual Arts Industry Support program (IVAIS), the Northern Territory Community Benefit Fund and Arts NT and the National Indigenous Australians Agency.
