National Indigenous Art Fair

The National Indigenous Art Fair is an ethical marketplace founded by charity organisation First Hand Solutions Aboriginal Corporation, and held at Sydney’s Overseas Passenger Terminal, The Rocks.

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

In the spirit of the 2023 National NAIDOC theme For Our Elders, this fourth-year festival features a vibrant program of live Indigenous music and dance performances, interactive experiences for adults and children, artwork from remote ethical art centres from around the country, plus more than 25 Blak Markets stallholders from around New South Wales selling art, jewellery, gifts, homewares, and Indigenous bush food and plants.

Visitors have the chance to browse the marketplace, meet the artists and experience Indigenous culture first-hand through the two-day festival program of music, dance, cultural displays and workshops. This year there will also be the opportunity to taste and learn about native bush foods and pre-book a hands-on Weaving Workshop with Regina Pilawuk Wilson, master fibre weaver from Durum Arts in Peppimenarti, NT.
