Join us for a half day tour of the art centres and galleries in Mparntwe Alice Springs. If you’ve been thinking about buying Aboriginal art but don’t know where to start, let our guide help to reassure you and educate you about the art centres, history of Aboriginal art, and its relationship to country and culture.
Alice Springs has the most art galleries per capita of anywhere in Australia, so where better to explore the Aboriginal art scene? Our town is vibrant with art, and we are passionate about opening up access to some of the off the beaten track art centres that visitors to the Red Centre might otherwise miss – benefiting both art centres and travellers.
*We work closely with art centres, ensuring our visits take place at appropriate times. Art Tours of Australia and our tour guides never take a commission on art sales.
*This itinerary is designed to give you a rough idea about what to expect. The specific art centres we visit are subject to availability.
We will pick you up from your Alice Springs accommodation in the Art Tours of Australia Troopy. We will drop you off here when we finish the tour.
We will start the tour with a briefing about Aboriginal art at a local cafe. This will go over the basic history of Aboriginal art and touch on its cultural significance. You will have the option to buy yourself a coffee here if you’d like.
We will visit between 4-8 art centres depending on availability and how we are going for time – please let us know at booking if there are any specific art centres you’d like to visit.
Places we regularly visit are:
Please bring a bottle of water, and a payment method to buy art & coffee. Please dress for the weather.
