CIAF creates a culturally safe, inclusive space for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander artists, communities and organisations to showcase culture, engage audiences, and foster ethical relationships across the arts sector. The Industry Booths provide an opportunity for organisations, enterprises and service providers to directly engage with a highly engaged audience of artists, curators, collectors, arts workers, community representatives and supporters of First Peoples art and culture.
If your organisation offers services, programs or experiences that support Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples working across the arts and cultural sector, an Industry Booth at CIAF offers meaningful exposure and connection.
