Victorian First Peoples Art & Design Fair Showcase

In 2025 Melbourne Art Fair welcomes the showcase exhibition of the Victorian First Peoples Art and Design Fair, featuring the work of 20 unrepresented Victorian First Peoples artists, along with Kaiela Arts, Baluk Arts, Perridak Arts and The Torch. An initiative of the Victorian Government’s Creative State strategy and driven by the Creative Victoria First Peoples Directions Circle, the Victorian First Peoples Art and Design Fair aims to promote and build the market for the extraordinary work of Victoria’s First People creatives. The event will officially launch in 2027 and will be timed to coincide with the Melbourne Art Fair. The event will shine a light on the diverse and rich creative practices and culture of First Peoples throughout Victoria, while engaging the broader Victorian community and delivering economic benefits to First Peoples creatives, enabling the artists and designers to expand their business practices, platform new ideas and bold new works, and strengthen the First Peoples creative industries here in Victoria.
