Warakurna is a remote community situated on the Great Central Road in the Ngaanyatjarra Lands of Western Australia, approximately 330km from Uluru near the border with the Northern Territory. Warakurna has a long history of artistic expression. In March 2005 the art centre studio was opened amid much enthusiasm and excitement. Warakurna Artists is owned and governed by Aboriginal people and provides services to artists living in and visiting Warakurna and the nearby community of Wanarn.

Warakurna Artists is an energetic, creative and happy place, where men and women, young and old, paint and share Tjukurrpa (traditional law and culture) and contemporary stories. Passing on these important stories to young people is a critical means of keeping culture vital and strong.

Mangkaja is an Aboriginal owned art centre situated in Fitzroy Crossing, West Kimberley, Western Australia. Mangkaja is a Walmajarri word meaning 'wet weather shelter'. The art centre brings together artists from four main language groups including Wangkatjungka and Walmajarri from the Great Sandy Desert and Bunuba, and Gooniyandi from the river country around the Fitzroy Crossing valley.

The meeting of desert and river cultures has produced a unique range of strengths in their fine art and cultural artefacts. Mangkaja artists paint iconic singular images of country that tell essential stories of heritage and identity. Their paintings are characterised by a colourful, contemporary style featuring an uninhibited immediacy and large brush strokes.

Ninuku Arts is a wholly-Indigenous owned and governed Art Centre which supports artists from two communities - Pipalyatjara and Kalka. Both communities are peaceful places, located in the far north-western corner of South Australia, near the tri-state border of South Australia, Western Australia and Northern Territory. The two communities, fourteen kilometres apart, are surrounded by the rolling, rocky hills of the Tomkinson Ranges and are part of the Anangu Pitjantjatjara Yankunytjatjara (APY).

The community is encouraged by strong governance, cultural engagement and pride among local Anangu people. The art centre prides itself on its inclusivity (providing opportunities for all generations) and embracing individuality in artists.

Operating since 1948, Ernabella Arts is Australia’s oldest Aboriginal art centre. The community is situated at the eastern end of the Musgrave Ranges in the far north west of South Australia. The people speak Yankunytjatjara, Pitjantjatjara and Ngaanyatjara from the Western Desert language groups of central Australia.

Today the community-directed art centre supports artists in all artistic endeavours, from painting, pottery and weaving to making bush jewellery and carved wooden traditional tools.

Artists from Waringarri relate images of country, traditional stories and stories of station life and contemporary events.  Painting only with ochre pigments Waringarri artists comment on the importance of maintaining traditional links to land and culture while exploring a celebration of colour, composition and individualism.
