Desert Mob Festival

Duration: 4 Days

Share the story and history of the Aboriginal arts phenomenon in Central Australia. Desert Mob is an Aboriginal art and fesitval event, held in Alice Springs during September. It celebrates and defines a living art movement that is expressed through the heritage values of the oldest living culture in the world.

The art is diverse and complicated, vibrant and intense, and reflects the expansive cultural landscape that is the inspiration of the stories. The annual exhibition, presented by the Araluen Galleries at the Alice Springs Cultural Precinct, features art works from Aboriginal art centres in the Northern Territory, South Australia and Western Australia, which are Aboriginal owned and governed, non-profit organisations.

The exhibition gives visitors a complete overview of the work by Aboriginal artists in this vast region and the opportunity to purchase artworks from both new and established artists all in one place, directly from the art centres. Nearly every year, a new art centre has emerged and developed, which adds new energy and dimension to the exhibition.

The exhibition is open from 10am to 4pm on weekdays and 11am to 4pm on weekends. Entry fees apply.
