Palya palyama - welcome

Western Desert Mob is a group of art centres, whose artists are producing exceptional artworks that share stories of country, culture and family. Artists are based at locations throughout the Ngaanyatjarra Lands, Western Australia.  

Western Desert Mob is not just about the artwork, but the artists creating them.
 


Western Desert Mob showcase works from sustainable, successful community enterprises, based on the importance of family and living and working in-country.  The artworks highlight the significance and value of purchasing authentic Aboriginal art.  

Western Desert Mob artwork consists of paintings, woodcarving and fibre sculptures.  The art draws on ancient spiritual traditions united with contemporary artistic expression, methods and mediums.

Western Desert Mob members are Aboriginal owned and governed art businesses, with transparent operations where 65% of sales income is returned to the artist and the remainder reinvested in their art centre business.  In some communities, if there was no art centre there would be no community.
