Papunya Tjupi

Papunya Tjupi Arts is a 100% Aboriginal owned and directed community arts organisation based in Papunya, 250km NW of Alice Springs/Mparntwe. Papunya is famed as the birthplace of the Western Desert painting movement and the artists of Papunya Tjupi have established their own unique identity based on the legacy of their forefathers. 

Papunya Tjupi artists are from Papunya and surrounding outstations, and are renowned for their strong line-work and for continuously developing new ways to tell the old stories. Central to Papunya Tjupi is the understanding that painting is an important part of culture and connection to country, and that the teaching and passing of knowledge is what keeps the community’s future strong. Papunya Tjupi’s artists exhibit fine art paintings nationally and internationally and feature in major public and private collections.
