With 1.4 million people having attended Tarnanthi since its inception, ArtsHub takes a look at the festival’s impact in shifting outdated perceptions around Indigenous art.
Over that period, 1.4 million people have attended state-wide Tarnanthi exhibitions and events, and more than $4.5 million of art has been sold at the Tarnanthi Art Fair, with all money going directly to artists and communities.
