Territory Art Trails

See the bigger picture on the Territory Art Trails.

The Territory is a living, growing exhibition 65,000 years in the making. It’s a 1.3 million km² canvas where art comes to life.

While it’s home to the world’s oldest continual culture on earth, the art created here every day is surprisingly fresh, and sometimes quite unexpected. The Territory Art Trails makes it easy to discover the best of the NT’s art, artists, events and much more.

Connect to art and cultural attractions, discovering a rich, distinctive and unforgettable experience for all visitors. Take part in demonstrations and workshops or visit art galleries and national parks to see rock art and paintings and historical artefacts – the Territory is where contemporary and traditional can be found side-by-side.

Red Centre local tips: Aboriginal culture

The vast emptiness of Central Australia is deceptive. Look below the surface of the Red Centre and you'll discover the world’s oldest living culture, a civilisation so intertwined with the land it is impossible to understand one without the other.

How to connect with Aboriginal culture

The Territory's natural attractions, wide-open landscapes and cultural heritage command attention. These are places which hold significant cultural importance for Traditional Owners. With deep cultural history more than 60,000 years in the making, Aboriginal culture is everywhere you look in the Territory.

How to invest in Aboriginal art ethically

There's no better place to purchase original Aboriginal art than in the Northern Territory. Unique artworks may be purchased from galleries, art centres, markets or even direct from the artist. Here's how to invest in Aboriginal art ethically, while also helping to generate income which helps support Aboriginal communities.

Art trails guide: Alice Springs to Darwin

Road tripping the Territory Art Trails is an opportunity to immerse in the oldest living culture on Earth. The canvas of the Northern Territory is as vibrant as it is vast. As it unfurls before you on the 1,500km drive from Alice Springs to Darwin, there’s an urge to connect to the land, its people and their traditions.

Darwin: local guide to art & culture

Darwin's identity as hub for arts and creativity is written on the wall, literally. A brightly coloured turtle glides along the side of a building, a giant crocodile watches over a supermarket and a stunning portrait of the late musician Dr G Yunupingu overlooks a laneway.
