Kaltjiti Arts and Crafts is a community based Indigenous art centre located in Fregon community on the APY Lands of South Australia. The art centre is the heart of Fregon community and a place where culture is celebrated through dynamic artmaking. Through their artworks, Elders and senior artists teach younger generations about important cultural traditions and stories, passing on knowledge that has come to them from their ancestors.
Kaltjiti artists are known for their aesthetic diversity and depth of talent. Senior artists Witjiti George, Taylor Cooper, Manyitjanu Lennon, Imitjala Curley and Matjangka Norris, alongside mid-career and emerging Kaltjiti artists celebrate the region’s Tjukurpa (ancestral stories and law) through their artmaking. This commitment to Tjukurpa and traditional painting techniques has allowed Kaltjiti Arts to establish a reputation for producing artworks of the highest quality and rich in cultural integrity.
