Discover Tjanpi Desert Weavers: a must-visit Aboriginal Art Gallery in Alice Springs.
Tjanpi Desert Weavers is an Aboriginal-owned social enterprise and gallery in Alice Springs, showcasing contemporary fibre art by over 400 women from 26 remote communities across the NPY (Ngaanyatjarra, Pitjantjatjara, Yankunytjatjara) Lands.
Step inside our gallery to explore an ever-changing collection of handwoven baskets, charming sculptures, hand painted jewellery, and design-led merchandise. Each piece of fibre art is crafted with native desert grasses and natural fibres, telling a story of ingenuity, skill, and connection to Country.
Located just minutes from the town centre, the Tjanpi gallery is a must-visit for art lovers and travellers looking to experience the richness of Central Australian Aboriginal art. While you're here, make a day of it—enjoy a coffee at the nearby Watertank Café, and head around the corner to visit Tangentyere Artists Gallery and Iltja Ntjarra Art Centre for more incredible ethical art.
