Eastern Desert Art is an Australian outback Aboriginal online art gallery representing the work of significant Aboriginal artists froom the Utopia region (Angarapa) of central Australia, 250kms north east of Alice Springs.  Eastern Desert Art is now affliated with Tingari Arts, Alice Springs to represent a broader cross-section of styles.  Together, Tingari Arts and Eastern Desert Art represent individual artists from various communities across the Eastern, Western and Central Deserts. 

Eastern Desert Art is run by Sonja Chalmers on the neighbouring property - MacDonald Downs - 285 kms north east of Alice Springs.  The Chalmers relationship with the Aboriginal people extends back three generations.  Many of the Aboriginal artists who these days live on Utopia were born and grew up on MacDonald Downs.

Walala Tjapaltjarri, Thomas Tjapaltjarri, Warlimpirrnga Tjapaltjarri, Molly Napaltjarri Jugadai and Josie Petrick Kemarre are the five significant artists from the Gibson Desert WA, Haast Bluff and Harts Range, NT featured this season.

Tingari Arts and Eastern Desert Art sell directly to collectors and galleries, nationally and internationally.

The exhibition will be on display at the Hugh Sawrey Gallery at the Australian Stockman's Hall of Fame from 1 August to 30 September 2010.

Everyone is welcome to the opening night on Monday 2 August at 6pm.  See details below.
