Snap up a gorgeous creation at First Nations art fair

It offers a unique opportunity to buy artworks, textiles, jewellery, ceramics and artefacts directly from Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander artists from remote community-owned art centres from the Northern Territory, Queensland, South Australia and Western Australia.

Artists will travel to Sydney to participate in First Hand Solutions Heart in Art program which provides economic and professional development opportunities and exchange between urban and remote First Nations communities.

National Indigenous Art Fair offers visitors the chance to browse this unique marketplace and experience Indigenous culture first-hand through a two-day festival program of dance, cultural displays, interactive Indigenous weaving circles and workshops, for adults and children.

There will also be the opportunity to taste and learn about native bushfood.

First Hand Solutions Aboriginal Corporation chief executive Peter Cooley said: "The National Indigenous Art Fair is an opportunity to meet the artist and hear the stories of this art directly from the maker with the knowledge that whatever the visitor spends will go directly back to these artists and their communities."

"It is a rare opportunity to meet artists from some of the most remote parts of Australia and provides them an opportunity to promote and sell their artworks and host workshops demonstrating their unique arts and cultural practice."

The 2023 Fair attracted 22,000 visitors over two days.

Entry is a donation of $2.50 to support remote artists attending the event. Children under 5 get in free.
