This exhibition shows new work by emerging and established artists from Papunya Tjupi who are
behind a move to establish a community art centre in Papunya. Highlights include the work of well
known Senior Papunya artists Michael Jagamara Nelson, Long Jack Phillipus Tjakamarra and William
Sandy, who have been instrumental in the drive to establish the new art centre. It will feature
major paintings by individual Papunya artists and also a series of large collaborative works in
which the senior artists' desire to pass on their knowledge of both Aboriginal Law and painting
techniques to the younger artists will be given expression. Works will be for sale, providing a
rare opportunity to purchase the first works from the new artists' group, with full proceeds going
directly to the artists.
