Tangentyere and Yarrenyty Arltere Artists

Established in 2005, Tangentyere Artists operates as a not-for-profit enterprise. Tangentyere Artists is a hub for art activities across the Town Camps (the name describing 18 Alice Springs Aboriginal housing associations), including the internationally renowned Yarrenyty Arltere Artists, located at Larapinta Town Camp, and Ewyenper Atwatye Artists, located at Hidden Valley Town Camp, and operates a studio, gallery space, and outreach program. As well as supporting Town Camp residents, we offer Indigenous artists visiting town from remote communities an open environment to create artworks and share artistic skills. Tangentyere Artists is committed to innovative, sustainable, fine art outcomes for Town Camp Artists.

Through their art, Town Camp Artists communicate stories about their families, identity and lives. Their art practice aims to highlight the everyday experience of Aboriginal people in Central Australia. Through sharing stories Artists place themselves in the national conversation, working towards understanding and reconciliation. Tangentyere is an Arrernte word that means coming together, working together.
