Description

History

Established in 1992.

In 1992, a small offering of Australian Aboriginal goods were sold in 100 square feet on East Davis Street in downtown Culpeper, Virginia under the name «Kungaku Arts», the aboriginal Pitjantjatjara word for «women’s». Since then the product selection has grown to represent over 80 countries, has moved and expanded eight times on the same block, and is now home at The Cameleer at 125 East Davis Street.

The initial Australian crafts sold were carved wood lizards and dot painted pottery from Central Australia. Didgeridoos, authentic boomerangs and aboriginal paintings rounded out the collection.

The Cameleer has carried products from scores of countries over the years and the product mix is in constant flux with the ebb and flow of traditional craft.

We seek traditional craft from indigenous people, but are always on the lookout for contemporary products from these countries.
