Mimili Maku Arts was incorporated in May 2010, and is governed by a board of Anangu directors who ensure that everything we do is in accordance with cultural protocol and our overarching purpose of improving community health and wellbeing.

The art centre is the primary source of non-government income in our community. We employ seven permanent art workers and additional casual staff. These positions are some of the only jobs in our community, offering meaningful training and professional development opportunities for Anangu.

The Indigenous art market still lacks transparency at times, with industry regulations still catching up with the reality of social disadvantage faced by many of our communities. This can make it difficult to make informed decisions around purchases.Buying directly from an art centre, or one of our trusted gallery partners, is the best way to guarantee you are supporting an ethical business model that sustainably benefits our families and community.

We work with a selection of reputable commercial galleries within Australia and internationally, as well as institutions who have become great friends to our art centre over the years. We thank the many Aboriginal nations across the continent on whose country we have been able to showcase and share our artwork.
