Australia’s premier Art Fair and Queensland’s quintessential celebration of Aboriginal & Torres Strait Islander art and cultures, Cairns Indigenous Art Fair (CIAF), is putting the health and safety of communities first, announcing we will present a world class digital experience in November 2021.

In considering current border closures and the continuing COVID-19 crisis in Australia, the CIAF Board of Directors have decided this year’s event—postponed last month to November—will be exclusively presented online.

Launching on Wednesday 10 November the digital program will run until Friday 19 November (online content will remain live through to December 10). Responding to this year’s Sacred theme, online audiences will be treated to an engaging selection of recorded and live-streamed arts & cultural content, such as: Virtual exhibitions, artist talks and conversations, dance and musical performances, the annual Fashion Performance, symposium, and lots more.

In advance of November’s digital presentation, CIAF has launched its e-commerce platform, inviting collectors and art lovers from across the globe to browse and purchase Queensland’s finest Aboriginal & Torres Strait Islander art online, via: https://shop.ciaf.com.au

Details of CIAF’s digital programming will be released online and via CIAF socials in the coming weeks.

CIAF wishes to thank all of you for your continued support, and to apologise for any inconvenience this move may have caused those scheduled to travel to Cairns in November.
