The Irrunytju art centre was established in 2001. Before this, some of the community members were already producing paintings. But when the art centre was opened, many community members attended daily to paint their tjukurpa(dreamtime) stories. Irrunytju Arts is now well established and the artists are known for producing vibrant and colourful canvases which depict a variety of tjukurpa, heavily related to the landscape of the surrounding country and its history. Some Irrunytju artists, particularly Yannima Tommy Watson, are represented in prominent private and public collections, both in Australia and internationally. The art centre has supported over 30 artists, including Wingu Tingima, , and Yannima Tommy Watson (who now works independently), as well as , , , , Tjayanka Woods, , Anmanari Brown, and . (en)
