Tour of First Nations Art at the Fair

This year at Sydney Contemporary, curator Sebastian Goldspink and arts consultant Kade McDonald will lead complementary First Nations Art Tours across the weekend, spotlighting the outstanding Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander artists represented throughout the Fair.

The tours will explore key works while offering deeper insight into the cultural significance, histories and contemporary practices of First Nations artists.
