Approximately 900 artists make up the collective that is Ma r uku. We exist to benefit the artists, their families, their communities and play a key role in keeping the traditional cultural practices strong and alive throughout the A n angu lands. Ma r uku is a regional art centre and, therefore, a representative of Anangu culture and art.


Our commitment to excellence is driven by the fact that we are a direct link between A n angu culture and tourism to the area, a role we take seriously. We want to educate our visitors about A n angu culture and history; in turn cultivating respect and understanding for this ancient culture and its differences to our own.
