Utopia Art Centre – On the move!

August 31, 2024

Look out for the veranda and the rest of the building travelling down the road for the Utopia Art Centre NT.

Alyawarr and Anmatyerr owned art centre working across their Homelands. Located in Arlparra remote Central NorthernTerritory. 280km north east of Alice Springs. All three are being prefabricated on precast concrete slabs in Murray River North Group‘s yard in AliceSprings. This will enable a high quality of construction in these very remote and small communities.

A huge thanks to art centre manager Sophia Lunn and congratulations for pulling it all together!

The first of 3 Aboriginal Art Centres in Central Australian desert communities is nearing the completion of construction. All 3 art centres will primarily serve as culturally appropriate workshops that will support some of Australia’s most successful artists who produce extraordinary art that is exhibited and collected around the world. The buildings are well overdue for these amazing artists and the important employment the art centre enables within community.

Very proud to see Marni Reti leading these 3 projects.
