Creative Victoria is proud to introduce the Victorian First Peoples Art and Design Fair. The fair debuted with a showcase exhibition at the 2025 Melbourne Art Fair.
An initiative of the Creative State 2025 strategy and driven by the First Peoples Directions Circle, the Victorian First Peoples Art and Design Fair aims to promote and build the market for Victoria’s First People creatives across Australia and overseas.
The fair celebrates and builds the market for the extraordinary work of First Peoples artists and designers from Victoria. It also enables networking, support 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.
The fair aims to 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.
Creative Victoria would like to thank members of the First Peoples Directions Circle for bringing their vision and determination to this game-changing initiative, highlighting the need for the Victorian First Peoples Art and Design Fair and the opportunities it will create.
