Tjala Arts is an Aboriginal owned and managed corporation that sells artwork on behalf of its members.
Described by senior artist Nyurpaya Kaika as the “true heart of Amata Community”, the art centre is a professional artmaking studio where culture is celebrated by Anangu (Pitjantjatjara: people) of three generations on a daily basis.
Artworks by Tjala Arts are held in many art institutions and museums across Australia and the world, as well as in high profile private collections in Australia and internationally. (Text supplied by Tjala Arts)
