100% Linen Cushion Cover

Town Camp Designs is a collection of products created by Ewyenper AtwatyeTangentyere and Yarrenyty Arltere Artists.

We are a 100% Aboriginal owned and run art centre. All sales directly support the artists, with all profit going towards artists fees and future projects. 

These 100% linen cushion covers have been designed in Mparntwe (Alice Springs) by Ewyenper Atwatye and Yarrenyty Arltere Artists and printed in Australia on high quality, natural fabrics.

Ewyenper Atwatye is the Central Arrernte place name for Hidden Valley, and the chosen name for the textile enterprise established by the community of Hidden Valley Town Camp in 2015. It is a satellite project of Tangentyere Artists. Each year, Tangentyere Artists run workshops in collaboration with the community, and out of these workshops new designs are released throughout the year.

Yarrenyty Arltere Artists is the vibrant beating heart of the Yarrenyty Arltere Town Camp in Mparntwe (Alice Springs). Established in 2000 as a response to the chronic social issues the community were facing at that time, it has now, after many years of hard work and love, become an internationally recognized Art Centre. 

Working in soft sculptures, textiles, etchings and film this small but dynamic Art Centre has given opportunity, voice and income to people that too often find themselves marginalized. Rich in personality and defiance, Yarrenyty Arltere Artists continues to be shaped by the artists and community that hold it so strongly and proudly as their own.
