CIAF plays a critical role in strengthening Queenslands Aboriginal and Torres Strait  Islander culture by providing the opportunity for artists to share stories, collaborate and celebrate their connection to Culture and Country. Additionally, it offers an important interface for the broader community to experience Aboriginal and Torres Strait culture and purchase artwork in an ethically run marketplace.

CIAF is committed to strengthening and celebrating culture, creating professional development opportunities for artists, providing a culturally safe and inclusive space as well as fostering cultural exchange between Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders and CIAF visitors.

If your organisation provides experiences or services related to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples working within the Arts sector, the CIAF  program is your opportunity to be in front of thousands of visitors. CIAF Industry booths are intended for the promotion or artist related services. Should your organisation wish to sell any items, CIAF strictly requires your request in writing.

Please contact CIAF Exhibitions Manager at exhibitions@ciaf.com.au should you have any queries relating to promoting your organisation.
