Maruku Arts
Ph: 08 8956 2153 Fax: 08 8956 2410
The Maruku Arts centre was established in 1984 by and for Aboriginal people in
response to a growing need for the effective co-ordination of marketing and
support services to Aboriginal craftspeople living in the region. Located at the
Mutitjulu Community within Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park, Maruku operated as a
regional centre providing a service to some 800 Pitjantjatjara, Yankunytjatjara
and Ngaanyatjara craftspeople living in communities and homeland centres to the
west, south and east of Uluru.
Maruku employs highly skilled staff who devote much of their time to travelling
through the region liaising with craftspeople and buying their works. These
works are then returned to the Maruku warehouse where they are documented and
sold either locally through the Maruku retail outlet at Uluru-Kata Tjuta
National Park, wholesale to shops and galleries throughout Australia or through
prestige exhibitions.
Maruku Arts is 100% Aboriginal owned co-operative. The centre at Uluru operates
in the Mutitjulu homelands with the assistance of Mutitjulu Council. All income
from sales is returned to the centre and utilised to continue the purchasing and
marketing of crafts.

Alice
Springs
Its the heart of Australia, the
capital of the Outback and the most romantic country town in the world. Its
where the Arrernte Aboriginal tribal group have lived for 20,000 years and where
pioneer men and women gave tough a new meaning. Its where they race camels,
hold hilarious holiday regattas in dry river beds and where Peter Finch finally
caught up with Virginia McKenna in the 1956 film classic A Town Like Alice.
