Cairns Indigenous Art Fair (CIAF)

Culture. Country. Contemporary. World-Class. 

The Cairns Indigenous Art Fair (CIAF) is Australia’s premier First Nations-led art fair and cultural celebration, held annually in Gimuy/Cairns, Queensland.

Since 2009, CIAF has grown into a world-class platform showcasing the richness and diversity of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander art and culture, from rainforest to reef, desert to freshwater. More than an art fair, CIAF is a movement: a catalyst for truth-telling, cultural exchange, and contemporary expression across visual art, performance, music, fashion, and storytelling.

CIAF is where Queensland’s First Peoples converge to share culture, shape contemporary practice, and lead the global arts conversation.
