Creativity to Shine at Cairns Indigenous Art Fair


Cairns Indigenous Art Fair (CIAF) is a unique three-day event that merges an art market with a celebration of Queensland Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultures.

CIAF is the only art fair in Australia to welcome commercial art galleries and Indigenous art centres to sell and showcase art by Queensland Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander artists.

This year's celebration is located at the Cairns Cruise Liner Terminal, within walking distance of the CBD, where artists and gallerists will be on hand to talk about the work. We invite you to the many public talks and forums, including the CIAF Symposium, to hear leading Australian and international speakers, artists, and collectors discuss why Queensland Indigenous art is making such an impact.

Children and families can get involved in hands-on art activities and there is a great program of free Indigenous dance over the weekend.

Cairns Indigenous Art Fair (CIAF) is committed to providing an ethical marketplace for the sale and purchase of Queensland Indigenous art and supporting the career development of Queensland Indigenous artists.

In 2012 we invite you to come along and share the experience.
