The Victorian First Peoples Art and Design Fair is a Victorian Government initiative, driven by the First Peoples Directions Circle – the group of esteemed First Peoples creative leaders who guide the work of Creative Victoria.
The Victorian First Peoples Art and Design Fair aims to promote and build the market for Victorian First Peoples artists and designers across Australia and overseas. 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.
It 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.
The Victorian First Peoples Art and Design Fair debuted with a showcase exhibition at Melbourne Art Fair in 2025. In 2026, it returns to Melbourne Art fair with a presentation featuring the work of two First Peoples artists and designers.
