Desert Mob

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Desert Mob is Central Australia's largest First Nations art and cultural event and exhibition, held in Alice Springs/Mparntwe annually since 1991.

History

[edit]

Developed by the Araluen Arts Centre, the first Desert Mob exhibition was held in 1991.[1] Artwork is selected by Aboriginal art centres from across the Central Australia region, the birthplace of the Western desert art movement.[2]

It is delivered in partnership with Desart, the peak body for Central Australian art centres.[3] It now features an annual multi-gallery exhibition of more than 200 works, symposium, marketplace and other associated events.[citation needed]
