The Araluen Arts Centre is the focal point of Alice Springs’ performing and visual arts scene, incorporating a series of art galleries and a professional theatre. The galleries feature a program of exhibitions with a focus on Aboriginal art from Central Australia, and contemporary art by local and Australian artists, with traveling exhibitions being a key feature of the annual visual arts program. The Albert Namatjira Gallery displays a rotating selection of paintings by this famous Aboriginal artist, his descendants and contemporaries.
The Araluen Arts Centre was designed and built around the 300 year old Corkwood Tree in the Sculpture Garden. This tree, another at the front of the building and Big Sister Hill are also considered sacred by the local Arrernte people.
