Whilst we were in Pirlangimpi we visited the
Munupi Art Centre a few times - mainly to talk to the artists; or on our way past on our morning walk.
I was always uplifted by the fact that the gallery part of the centre was totally painted in art that is reflected in many of the pieces in the gallery.

In the ramp that leads into the artist's painting area (collective studio) there were these 150mmX150mm tiles embed in the plain grey cement ramp. In all there would have been around 30 such tiles that 'shone' through the daily dust and mud that was applied to them as artists entered for their daily creation. The following are but a sample.
