100% Aboriginal owned and directed community arts organisation Papunya Tjupi Arts is based in Papunya, the birthplace of the Western Desert painting movement. The Art Centre supports emerging artists and some of Australia’s leading contemporary painters.
In 2026, Papunya Tjupi Arts returns to Melbourne Art Fair to present new works by Doris Bush Nungarrayi. Doris paints vivid memories, stories and dreams from her life, with her work often telling happy stories from her early days in Ikuntji; eating, hunting, and swimming with her friends and family in the bush. Her work embodies the nature of a true storyteller, with her expressive style, bold use of colour, and recognisable motifs.
We acknowledge the Traditional Owners of the place now called Victoria, and all First Peoples living and working on this land. We recognise and celebrate the cultural heritage, creative contributions, and stories of the First Peoples of Victoria. We pay respect to Elders of today, emerging Elders of tomorrow and Elders of the past.
