This August Harvey Art Projects proudly presents TJALA | NGAYUKU NGURA —a survey exhibit of paintings by Tjala Arts.

Tjala Arts is located in Amata community, in far north-west South Australia on the Anangu Pitjantjatjara Yankunytjatjara (APY) Lands nestled within the spectacular Musgrave Ranges, approximately 120km south of Uluru and 500km southwest of Alice Springs. Established in 1999, Tjala has launched the careers of artists including Wawiriya Burton, Ray Ken, Mick Wikilyiri, Sylvia Ken, Barbara Moore and the five Ken Sisters - Yaritji Young, Freda Brady, Sandra Ken, Maringka Tunkin and Tjungkara Ken - who won the prestigious Wynne Prize at the Art Gallery of NSW in 2016. 

Known for their vibrant use of colour and energetic mark making, works by Tjala artists have been acquired by many high profile collectors across Australia and abroad and are held in numerous public institutions including the National Gallery of Australia, The Art Gallery of NSW, The National Gallery of Victoria and The Art Gallery of South Australia.

Tjala Arts is at the heart of Amata Community and has created widespread financial gain for families in the community and across surrounding homelands. It is a place that honors culture and promotes and supports the highest level of ethical practice in the production and sale of Indigenous art.
