Alice Springs: Araluen Cultural Precinct

The Araluen Arts Centre is the hub of Alice Springs' performing and visual arts scene. 

Araluen Arts Centre was designed and built around the 300-year-old Corkwood Tree in the Sculpture Garden. This tree, another at the front of the building and Big Sister Hill, are also sacred for the local Arrernte people.

Country is central to the experience of Indigenous and non-Indigenous residents of Alice Springs and the centre was built to celebrate this connection.
