Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

    A fantastic little gallery featuring wonderful traditional & contemporary Aborinal artwork. Their collaboration glass work is beautiful. And for anyone on holidays, missing their fur baby, the in- house pooch is always available for pats & belly rubs.

    I have been truly inspired by the beautiful collection & range of Aboriginal artwork in store at TIAA.

    I loved hearing the stories behind each piece of work, & was lucky enough to be able to see artworks being created in the studio by some of the artists. It was a really amazing experience, & highlight of my trip to Alice!

    I purchased a great piece & love it to bits!!

    If you come to Alice Springs defiantly worth a visit.

    Some of the best aboriginal art in Australia. Jila Arts has two galleries in the Todd mall and another in a studio in another location. We found there was better art here than uluru and is on par with the gallery of central Australia (Alice springs). Jila arts go above and beyond to support all artists which gives you great piece of mind. We found the whole team to be upfront, honest and down to earth. Will definitely be ordering more art from Jila in the future. Thanks Corny, Mandy, Sam and Paul. You guys made our trip to Alice something to remember.

    Venturing into Tangentyere Artists feels like stepping into a vibrant tapestry of stories and colors. The team there goes above and beyond, not just presenting the art but weaving a narrative around each piece, offering a glimpse into the soul of the creators behind the stunning paintings and intriguing soft sculptures. Their collection is a curated marvel, bridging the gap between traditional artistry and contemporary appeal, with something for everyone. From whimsical kids’ t-shirts to elegant tea towels and cushion covers, each item is a token of culture and craftsmanship.

    But the heart of this art centre beats with a purpose far greater than commerce. Operated by the local Aboriginal community, it stands as a beacon of empowerment and sustainability. Each purchase turns into a seed of change, funneling back into the community, supporting the artists, and fueling initiatives that ensure their rich heritage thrives. Shopping here is not just about finding the perfect souvenir; it’s about being part of a meaningful cycle of creativity and support.

    This art gallery is a short distance away from the retail centre of Alice Springs where there are several galleries within walking distance of each other selling indigenous artwork. However, it is definitely worthwhile making the short drive to visit Mbantua Gallery, whether anticipating buying a painting or just to wander through looking at the very extensive range of art and artefacts that they have there.
    The premises comprise several rooms opening off each other and it is quite an adventure seeking out wonderful items. As well as new works on canvas or made as objects there are older pieces too, including artefacts which were once included in a museum display by the gallery owner.
    Gallery manager Simone very willingly shared her knowledge with us whilst just encouraging us to look around without any pressure to buy. Of course, we did come away with a couple of 'treasures' which Simone expertly packed and shipped home for us. We also had the most amazing opportunity and privilege to have a lengthy conversation with the CEO of the gallery, Tim Jennings. From his years in the territory as a collector and gallerist he has obtained a most extensive background and detailed knowledge of the indigenous culture, its art and artefacts, and many of its artists and their art.
    We encourage everyone to visit Mbantua Gallery even if only to look at what is there - it is an amazing place and well worth the short trip to it.

    The range of works in Leaping Lizards is a definite stand out from all the galleries in Alice Springs.
    The quality of work have both traditional and modern styles, and full of vibrancy and energy.
    Conversation is easy and laid back.

    Visited the Weavers with a group of friends. The fabric conscious people were most impressed. The vivid colours were most attractive.
