A must see Alice Springs annual event showcasing the creative talent of Central Australian artists. Our team went to check out the award and present here for you a selection of some of the wonderful, thought provoking and interesting artworks from a variety of medium under the three different sections of Places, Faces and Stories.

Indeed, we learnt that sometimes you need to stand and look, maybe walk away, then come back… and then in silent contemplation, something maybe revealed… or more questions raise… such is art…

We thank the Central Australian Art Society Inc (CAAS) for their dedication and work in bringing together and putting on this annual exhibition, with special thanks to their volunteer artists. Thanks also go to all their sponsors… you can check them out on the CAAS website… www.caasinc.org
