Desert Mob, presented at the Araluen Arts Centre, Alice Springs, is a premier Aboriginal arts and cultural event. It includes a major Exhibition, a Symposium and a MarketPlace in a unique celebration of Desart (the Association of Central Australian Aboriginal Art and Craft Centres) member art centres and concentrates on the vibrancy of Aboriginal art and culture from Central Australia. The selling exhibition features new artworks from Aboriginal art centres and offers a snapshot of what is currently happening in contemporary art from Aboriginal owned art centres. The Symposium is a celebration of Aboriginal artists and their art centres. Artists from Central Australia present stories, images and films about their art, art centres, country and culture. Desert Mob Marketplace is a large indoor/outdoor market spilling over with stalls selling affordable Aboriginal art, crafts and products from Desart member art centres across Central Australia.
