The Arlpwe Art & Culture Centre was officially opened on 27th June 2008 in Ali Curung, Northern Territory, Australia.
The name Arlpwe (pronounced Arlboe) was chosen for the Art Centre by the traditional land owners of the country on which Ali Curung is situated.
Translation
The English translation of Arlpwe is "...this country all over, no waterhole, no rivers, only soakage and Spinifex country" (Mr Mick Waake)
The traditional owners of this land belong to Kaytetye language group with Alyawarr, Warlpiri and Warumungu being the three other language groups that form the community.
The Arlpwe Art and Culture Centre’s members feel strongly that being able to paint and make traditional artefacts keeps our culture strong for future generations.
