Central Craft is a community-run artists' cooperative in Mparntwe (Alice Springs), offering a studio, gallery, and retail space. Based in the Araluen Cultural Precinct next to Yaye’s Café, we welcome artists, volunteers, and community groups. Our space sits near Big Sister Hill, a sacred site for Apmrereke Artweye – Mparntwe Custodians. "Yaye’s" (pronounced yar-yars) means sisters in Arrernte, reflecting the Two Women Dreaming story connected to this land and its landmarks, Big Sister Hill and Little Sister Hill.
