Desert Mob 2024

Desert Mob brings together hundreds of artists to celebrate desert culture in the heart of Australia. 

One of the nation's oldest Aboriginal art festivals, Desert Mob features an exhibition, symposium and marketplace as well as public programs and satellite events throughout Mparntwe (Alice Springs). From the opening night celebration to community studio visits, evening curator talks, art workshops and musical performances, Desert Mob is a cultural event for all the community. In 2024, the Desert Mob Exhibition features works by emerging and established artists from almost 40 Aboriginal art centres from across the Northern Territory, South Australia and Western Australia.
