Heading into its 35th year, Telstra NATSIAA is the longest-running art award dedicated to the work of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander artists, and has come to be regarded as one of the premier national events on the Australian Indigenous art calendar.

 

This year’s Telstra NATSIAA showcases the diverse practices of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander artists, unearthing new artistic developments in contemporary Indigenous art practices for new and emerging artists, whilst also including major works by some of Australia’s most revered artists.

 

This year's Awards Ceremony and Opening Night draws upon four horizon lines, visible throughout Australia, with an evening of incredible live performance, music and dance, set on the picturesque MAGNT lawns.

Enjoy performances from Baker Boy, Emily Wurramara, the NT Dance Company, Mau Power and more, and immerse yourself in the amazing Indigenous art brought together from regional areas and urban centres.

 

Bring a picnic or order from one of the food trucks on site, where a paid bar will be operating.

The 35th Telstra NATSIAA exhibition will officially open at 8.30pm, after the Awards Ceremony. 

Throughout the opening weekend engage in Indigenous art and culture, participate in artist-led workshops, listen to the winning artists and see performances in the gallery space.
