Ernabella Arts Inc

Established in 1948, Ernabella Arts is Australia's oldest, continuously operating Indigenous art centre. Located in Pukatja Community in the far northwest of South Australia, Ernabella Arts is an Indigenous owned and run corporation which promotes and supports ethical practice in the creation and sale of First Nations art.

Pukatja was the first permanent settlement on the Aṉangu Pitjantjatjara Yankunytjatjara (APY) Lands. A Mission was established in 1937 and the craft room was incorporated in 1948. The first works created were hand-loomed weavings and floor rugs.

In the 1970’s Ernabella artists travelled to Indonesia and learnt the technique of batik, and Ernabella soon became renown for these intricate batik silks. In 2003 a ceramics studio was created and today Ernabella Arts is synonymous nationwide and overseas with Indigenous ceramics.
