Watercolour and Acrylic artists, brother and sister, Peter Taylor and Myra Ah Chee delivered a brilliant presentation about their life story during Desert Mob 2013. Ngurratjuta artists have also presented beautiful new watercolours at the Desert Mob exhibition at Araluen Arts Centre in Alice Springs. Finally, we had an open day at our art centre.

A special thank you to Carmen from BighArt, the Desart staff and all the passionate artists who helped make this happen.

An exhibition of contemporary watercolours, featuring works by the Hermannsburg school artists, will be shown alongside BighArt’s ‘Namatjira’ stage production at the Southbank centre in London. This exhibition will complement the Royal Academy’s Australia exhibition, which features original work by Albert Namatjira, showing in London currently. Ngurratjuta Many Hands artists, Kevin and Lenie Namatjira will be travelling to London for this special event.
