Dozens of artists from some of Australia’s most remote communities will travel to Sydney this July for the sixth annual National Indigenous Art Fair (NIAF), a cultural marketplace and public program that brings Indigenous arts and stories to the heart of the NSW capital.

Held at the Overseas Passenger Terminal on Gadigal Land over 5–6 July, the event coincides with the opening weekend of NAIDOC Week. It reflects this year’s theme: The Next Generation: Strength, Vision and Legacy. Now in its sixth year, the NIAF is presented by First Hand Solutions Aboriginal Corporation and offers city audiences a chance to connect directly with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander artists. Around 100 artists will attend, representing over 30 remote art centres from across the continent.
