National Indigenous Art Fair 2024

The National Indigenous Art Fair will showcase creations from First Nations artists, designers and makers for its fifth annual art market.

From Saturday 29 to Sunday 30 June the Overseas Passenger Terminal will be bursting with art, performances, panel discussions, bushfood and a communal weaving circle.

At the ethical marketplace, there'll be more than 50 stallholders where you can purchase art, handmade jewellery, homewares, food and more. All proceeds go directly back to the artist and First Nations communities.

You can also check out cooking demonstrations, participate in workshops and enjoy the live music and dance performances.

Entry fee is $2.50 to support remote Indigenous artists. Free entry for children under 5.
