Tjala Arts was started by the women of Amata in 1997 and was originally called Minymaku Arts (Ladies Arts). It was renamed in 2006 to reflect the involvement of men in the Art Centre. Tjala is the Pitjantjatjara word for honey ant – a favourite bush food. One of the significant creation stories for Amata relates to Tjala.
