Owned entirely by its Aboriginal shareholders — predominantly Luritja and Pintupi people from the Western Desert — Papunya Tula has been operating since 1972, when Geoffrey Bardon persuaded men at a remote community to paint a school wall. That act launched one of Australia's most consequential art movements. The Alice Springs gallery now represents around 120 artists, with works held in major public institutions worldwide.
Address checked against the operator’s own website, 20 September 2026.
