About Warlukurlangu Artists & Jirtirlparnta Artists
Established in 1985, Warlukurlangu Artists is one of the oldest Aboriginal-owned Art Centres in Australia. Warlukurlangu means belonging to fire in the local Warlpiri language, and is named after a Fire Dreaming site west of Yuendumu. The Art Centre annually engages with more than 800 artists from the communities of Yuendumu, Nyippiri, Yuelumu and Willowra, in the Central Desert. Its artists’ works have been featured in exhibitions and publications in Australia and internationally. From the beginning the artists reveled in painting with an unrestricted pallette, the paintings are also known for having strong Jukurrpa (story) and using traditional motifs to tell the story of the artists connection to country.
Shipping policy
Yuendumu does not have a reliable mail service so parcels are generally driven to Alice Springs, 300 kms from Yuendumu, once a week.
Every effort is made to dispatch artworks as quickly as possible, but specific delivery times cannot be guaranteed. Please keep in mind that you are purchasing something from a very remote community. Parcels purchased while the art fair is in progress in Darwin will also take a little longer to post as most of the staff are in Darwin. So please keep this in mind and expect a longer than normal delay.
Any paintings under 1 metre are shipped via Australia Post, express. Paintings over a metre long need to be sent via Courier, and will require a work delivery address if possible.
Refund policy
It is very important to us that you are happy with your purchase. If not, we will fully refund you for the value of the artwork, minus the postage costs. You must notify the art centre within 10 days of receiving the painting if you are not fully satisfied. You need only pay the cost of returning the painting to the art centre. The artwork must be returned in its original condition with all of its accompanying documentation for the guarantee to apply.
Return policy
If you need to return any purchases please contact us before posting so we can provide you with an address in Alice Springs
