A CELEBRATION OF INDIGENOUS ART
ART GALLERIES ARE A LITTLE DIFFERENT OUT HERE
At Ayers Rock Resort, we pride ourselves on celebrating Indigenous Art and acknowledge the role it plays in both sustaining one of the world’s oldest living cultures and fostering understanding and appreciation. We recognise it as an integral part of Australia’s identity. From traditional to contemporary practices, the vibrancy and rich story-telling woven into Indigenous art will leave you with a feeling of awe and a yearning for more.

The program showcases a diverse range of mediums and creative responses to the unique location of the Red Centre and provides a special opportunity to meet and watch these talented artists at work.

Discover the indigenous culture of Uluru
European explorers may not have "discovered" Uluru until the 1870's, but the site has long been a place of spiritual significance for Indigenous Australians, who have lived in the area for more than 20,000 years.
How to experience the indigenous culture in Uluru
Telling stories is one of the things that makes us human. We use stories to make sense of the world around us, which is why hearing the tales of another culture is such a powerful experience: it lets us see the world through someone else’s eyes.
Closing the Uluru Climb
On October 26, 2019, the Uluru climb will be closed for good. It will be a joyous day for the Anangu people.
