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.
