About the Art Centre

Iltja Ntjarra Art Centre is an Aboriginal-owned and governed art centre located in Mparntwe (Alice Springs), Northern Territory. With a special focus on supporting artists who continue the legacy of Albert Namatjira, one of Australia’s most celebrated 20th-century artists, the centre fosters a vibrant community of Western Aranda Aboriginal men and women, ranging from emerging to established artists. Together, they paint, sing, share, learn, and engage in a collaborative and creative environment. Their work is celebrated for its striking watercolour depictions of their country and for innovative projects that often address social and cultural commentary.
