In the heart land of Central Australia, lies Bindi Inc, a cross cultural organization providing opportunities for all people with disabilities for over 32 years.

Bindi Inc’s Artist Collective Mwerre Anthurre commenced in 2000 and supports some of Australia’s leading and emerging artists whose work exhibits nationally and internationally.

Mwerre Anthurre Artists encourage the promotion of culturally relevant work options and art skill development, nurturing artists who demonstrate an interest and passion to develop a career in fine art.

Mwerre Anthurre Artists have received national recognition via a series of high profile exhibitions.  Their work can be found in collections nationwide including the National Gallery of Australia, the National Gallery of Victoria, the Art Gallery of New South Wales and the Art Gallery and Museum of the Northern Territory. Billy Benn Perrurle is a founding member of the collective and was selected in January 2007 by Australian Art Collector as being in one of the fifty most collectable artists in Australia (this includes both indigenous and non-indigenous artists).

As with all of the art centres we work with, the philosophy of Mwerre Anthurre Artists is empowerment through art. The creation of art provides income and purpose. It is culturally significant and culturally rejuvenating with each painting a connection to country.
