Kintore (Pintupi: Walungurru) is a remote settlement in the Northern Territory of Australia, located approximately 530 km west of Alice Springs and close to the border with Western Australia. In 2011, Kintore had a population of 454, of which 413 (91 per cent) identified themselves as Aboriginal.
It was founded in 1981, when many Pintupi people who resided in the community of Papunya (about 200 km from Alice Springs) became unhappy with their circumstances in what they saw as foreign country, and decided to move back to their own country, from which they had been forcibly removed decades earlier due to weapons testing from Woomera in South Australia.
Kintore is a major centre for the Western Desert art movement which began at the community of Papunya. These people traditionally passed on significant Dreamtime stories by way of art using sand, rock and local plants. Nowadays such paintings are done on canvas and have gained worldwide popularity. A number of members of the famous Aboriginal art company Papunya Tula reside at Kintore.

Being one of the most remote communities in the western desert, the use of colours by the artist is very traditional with stories past down from one generation to the next. Some of the counties most famous indigenous artist reside in this country and at Oz Biz Aboriginal Art and Craft Gallery we represent a large number of artist from these homelands as they regularly paint for us in our studio which is located in Alice Springs.
