JULALIKARI ARTS

Julalikari Arts is situated in Tennant Creek, 500kms North of Alice Springs on the Stuart Highway. Julalikari Council Aboriginal Corporation operates the Arts Centre under its CDEP programme.

Julalikari Arts and Crafts was established in 1994 in response to Aboriginal women's requirements to do more meaningful work. There are currently 27 women working at the Arts Centre. Some of them have been painting for many years and others have just started.

Being a "Town-based" Art Centre means that the women who work there have had differing educational opportunities and cultural and life experiences. This is expressed in the diverse range of artwork produced at the Centre. The artist's traditional country is spread right across the Barkly Regional and even as far North as Borroloola. The women also range in age from 17 to 80+ (approx).
