About this activity

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

We work closely with art centers, ensuring our visits take place at appropriate times. Art Tours of Australia and our tour guides never take a commission on art sales.
