From its base in Tennant Creek, Barkly Regional Arts promotes visual arts, music and media across the whole of the Barkly, supporting the continued preservation, presentation and creative development of the diverse cultures and language groups located here.

The Artists of the Barkly Studio Gallery at Kargaru Centre in Tennant Creek represents over fifty visual artists living in five remote communities across the Barkly. While sharing a remote, rugged landscape and interests in Country, modern history, and life in the Barkly, the artists from each community exhibit a distinctive style, leading to a wide variety of works across the collective. Visitors may view or purchase art and craft products, chat with artists at work in the studio, and learn more about the development of artists and art practices in this uniquely beautiful region.
