The annual Tarnanthi Art Fair returns as both an in-person and online event.

The in-person Art Fair provides a unique opportunity to meet Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander artists and buy works of art. Exclusive to Adelaide, this popular art event brings together works in diverse mediums, produced by hundreds of established and emerging, regional and city-based artists from across Australia.

If you can’t make it to the in-person Art Fair, you can browse and buy online, day and night, from your home anywhere around the world.

Or shop at both, as the offerings at each event are unique.

Importantly, the three-day Art Fair delivers significant economic benefits to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities, where art production is a vital source of income. All works are made and sold ethically, and all sale proceeds go directly to the artists and their community-run art centres.

The opening of this event on Fri 20 Oct will be Auslan-interpreted from 5-6pm.

Remind me about this event closer to the date.
