Whether browsing our digital catalog or visiting our worldclass Aboriginal artwork displays, our team ensures a personalised experience. 

Ethical Partnerships with Central Desert & APY Lands Artists

As a family owned Aboriginal art gallery, we work directly with artists and families from the Central Desert Northern Territory and APY Lands South Australia. We prioritise fairness: .

  • Sustainable Partnerships: We work directly with artists whenever possible, cutting out unnecessary third parties, to ensure fair pay and authentic art. You will often see photos of local artists with their paintings or even working at our galleries.
    .
  • Artist Support: For years, we’ve nurtured relationships with artists and their families. We supply all canvas, paints and tools, so artists face no out of pocket expenses.
    .
  • Adelaide Artist Connections: Our galleries are a local hub for Adelaide’s Aboriginal art community, fostering friendships and professional bonds with artists and their families. You’ll often find artists here, painting their latest works, sharing stories, or simply dropping in for a chat. 
    .
  • Passionate Team: Our family and staff live for art. We are blessed to collaborate directly with some of Australia’s best artists, sharing their pride in every creation. For us, it is much more than the average retail gallery you’ll find across Australia. Art by Farquhar is a space where local artists come to thrive, showcasing their work to the world.
