103 reviewsAbout
It is known as the keeping place of stories, Araluen holds within its spaces some of the most significant works of art in Central Australia and brings to the stage world class performances from around the nation (and at times the world).
The Araluen Galleries showcase the beginning and continuing development of the Contemporary Aboriginal art movement, particularly of Central Australia and the Western Desert Region as well as significant local contemporary artists in their response to place.
The Araluen Art Collection includes original artworks by renowned watercolourist Albert Namatjira and his artistic response to the Central Australian landscape, displayed in rotation in the Galleries, which themselves are only minutes from the spectacular West MacDonnell Ranges and the country that gave his work birth.

2 interesting exhibits: art by regional Indigenous artists (exceptional variety in terms of ages, styles and media) and a quilt exhibit by regional quilters. The outdoor sculpture exhibit was underwhelming (and we were hot so we didn’t want to spend much more time outside). Small but useful gift shop. Clean toilets. Plenty of parking.

We went there to see Albert Namatjira's work but were blown away by all other art works they have....it's a must visit for all art lovers. A very serene place with a 300 years old Corkwood tree in the backyard/sculpture gallery.

Araluen Arts Centre at Alice Springs Visited on 7/6/2019 After visiting Alice Springs Desert Park, we drovee to this Arts Centre. It was a real gem for visitors who like Aboriginal art, especially contemporary Aboriginal art. I was and still am a novice in Aboriginal art, and have very limited knowledge except about dot painting and Rainbow Serpent Dreamtime picture. I spent sometime at the gallery exhibiting the many colourful artwork, and masterpieces. Besides painting, there was the Corkwood Sculpture Garden, and a great display of metal work. I love them all!

This is a hidden local gem. The gallery was great and the cafe next door topped off our visit.
