Cairns Indigenous Arts Fair - 21-23 August

22nd July, 2009

A fascinating event where art is sold and stories are told.

Cairns Indigenous Art Fair is Australia's newest art fair and the only one dedicated to offering the best contemporary and traditional Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander art from Queensland.

Showcasing work from several of Australia's leading Indigenous art galleries alongside Queensland's Indigenous Art Centres, CIAF welcomes art collectors, dealers, gallerists, first-time buyers and those wanting to immerse themselves in the best Indigenous art from this region.

CIAF is a celebration of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander culture, with the art fair complemented by performances, workshops and the CIAF Symposium. Performances include dance, music, storytelling and song, and visitors can see artists at work at Djumbunji Press. Meanwhile the issues challenging and invigorating the Indigenous arts industry, in Australia and internationally, will be the focus of lively discussion at the CIAF Symposium.

Whether you are a seasoned collector, a beginner, or just want to be part of one of the most significant cultural events in Queensland this year.
