What is DAAF?
The Darwin Aboriginal Art Fair (DAAF) is one of the most significant national events celebrating First Nations art, culture, and community. Held annually on Larrakia Country in Darwin, the fair brings together Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander art centres and independent artists from across Australia.
More than just a marketplace, DAAF is a cultural gathering — a place for Blak voices to shine through powerful exhibitions, performances, artist talks, fashion, and storytelling. It’s where culture is shared, celebrated, and supported on a national and international stage.
Don’t worry about sounding professional. Sounds like you. There are over 1.5 billion websites out there, but your story is what’s going to separate this one from the rest.
Why it Matters
DAAF provides vital visibility and economic opportunity for First Nations artists, helping to sustain living culture through ethical art sales and artist-led engagement.
For artists from Regional and Remote NSW, this platform represents:
Connection to a national network of artists and arts workers
Recognition for the depth and diversity of Blak creative practice
Celebration of local stories told through global-quality work
The 2025 fair will see artists from ARAA’s network stand alongside other First Nations creatives in a powerful show of solidarity, sovereignty, and cultural excellence.
