Overview

About

  • Join us for a half day tour of the art centers 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 centers, 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 centers that visitors to the Red Centre might otherwise miss – benefiting both art centers and travelers.
  • We will start our tour with a coffee and a briefing about Aboriginal art and culture

Art Tours of Australia run small group tours in Central Australia that specialise in making art outdoors. We travel to some of the best and most remote places in the Red Centre, and to experience the wilderness landscapes intimately in low impact groups, all while learning from the oldest continuous culture in the world. The landscapes of Central Australia are special. They have the unique ability to inspire artists and art lovers, and help us to connect to the ancient history of humanity that exists here. We visit Aboriginal artists and cultural experts for authentic first hand knowledge sharing experiences, and explore the ancient desert to learn about the unique flora and fauna. We run trips with workshops for beginner artists, and help established artists with the logistics of making art outdoors in remote locations. Adventure is at the centre of our philosophy, you can find us in the Art Tours of Australia 4WD, or camping out in swags around a campfire. Join us for a small group tour specialising in ART.
