Prepare to discover the rich diversity of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander art, design, and culture at the 18th Darwin Aboriginal Art Fair (DAAF). The fair takes place from August 9 to 11, 2024, at the Darwin Convention Centre on Larrakia Country, and you can also attend online, offering more ways to enjoy this special event.
Responsible Art Shopping
The fair offers the opportunity to purchase artworks directly from over 70 Indigenous-owned art centers. These centers represent artists from Australia’s remote desert and coastal regions, as well as rural and urban communities. By purchasing art at the fair, you support the artists and their communities, as all sales go back to the art centers.
A Diverse Cultural Program
The fair features a vibrant public program with traditional dance performances, workshops, demonstrations, children’s activities, and artist talks. This program offers a wonderful opportunity to engage with Indigenous culture and learn from talented artists.
Exciting Fashion Events
Don’t miss the fashion events organized by the DAAF Foundation, including the “Country to Couture” runway show on August 6 and the National Indigenous Fashion Awards on August 7. These events celebrate creativity in Indigenous fashion.
