Cairns Indigenous Art Fair (CIAF)

Queensland’s quintessential Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander celebration of art

Coral Expeditions has proudly sponsored the Cairns Indigenous Art Fair for the last 4 years and we are committed to continuing in 2021 and beyond as a major partner of the CIAF ‘Collectors and Curators’ program. The festival is one of the highlights of the North Queensland events calendar and is a true “coming together” of the communities and cultures of the north.

We have been delivering world-class expedition experiences in the North Queensland region for over three decades and pride ourselves on our relationships with remote Indigenous communities through visitation and by promoting their people, culture and art. As our company grows,  we value how this great event helps inspire us and our guests with more cultural content and themed voyages, to visit more communities in our travels and to showcase the art and culture of the region on our vessels and to our guests.

Underpinned by a decade-long tradition, CIAF has shown its true resilience and agility during pandemic restrictions to present another year of presentations, music and fashion performances, webinars, workshops, community spotlights, virtual gallery exhibitions, art awards and conversations.

We hope to see you there!
