Yuendumu Artists
View the Catalogue of our recent exhibition Warlukurlangu artists here
A collection of works from Warlukurlangu, N.T.
Warlukurlangu Arts Centre is a remote Aboriginal-owned art centre located 300 km from Alice Springs. Internationally revered for their gloriously coloured Aboriginal art, the centre has been promoting Indigenous cultures and supporting the remote community of Yuendumu since 1985.
The Warlukurlangu Arts Centre has been managed by Cecilia Alfonso and assistant manager Gloria Morales for over 25 years. This is highly unusual for remote Aboriginal art centres, where leadership transitions often happen within a much shorter period.
I first came across the Artists of Warlukurlanga when I ask over for a dinner party at Cecilia Alfonso house by my mate Rebecca McLean in 2007. A great night of Alice Springs hospitality and a chance to see a bunch of work getting ready to be sent to galleries around Australia. A later visit to the Darwin Art Fair with the art centre being the stand out, particularly the work of Karen Napaljarri Barnes. Her Budgie paintings literally flew off the walls and I missed out on purchasing one. The works have stay front of mind for all these years, so I feel privileged to be presenting this group exhibition at & Gallery in Sorrento.
