Warlukurlangu - The Artists of Yuendumu

About The Artist

Warlukurlangu Artists is one of the longest running and most successful Aboriginal-owned art centres in Central Australia. Established in 1985, Warlukurlangu Artists Aboriginal Corporation is a not-for-profit organisation that is 100% Aboriginal-owned by its artists from the remote desert community of Yuendumu in Central Australia. Warlukurlangu means ‘belonging to fire’ in the local language, Warlpiri, and is named for a Fire Dreaming site west of Yuendumu. The art centre’s primary focus is to promote the maintenance of local Indigenous culture by producing beautiful Aboriginal Art which is then sold around Australia and internationally.

Warlukurlangu Artists is famous for its gloriously colourful acrylic paintings that share ancient, sacred stories of the Dreamtime – many created by young, aspiring Aboriginal artists who have been mentored over time by some of the most influential artists from the Australian Aboriginal Art Movement.
