AIATSIS acknowledges all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Traditional Custodians of Country and recognises their continuing connection to land, sea, culture and community. We pay our respects to Elders past and present.

Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people should be aware that this website may contain images, voices and names of deceased persons.

Experience the vibrancy and diversity of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander art at the AIATSIS Indigenous Art Market (IAM) – Canberra’s largest in-person Indigenous art market.

Held annually since 2014, the AIATSIS IAM brings together artists and art centres from across the country to showcase a diverse range of artworks including paintings, textiles, sculptures, jewellery, and much more.

Importantly, 100 per cent of sales from the art market goes back to participating art centres, artists and their communities.

More than just a market, IAM is a cultural experience. Visitors can meet and connect with artists and art centre representatives, hear the stories behind the artworks, and gain a deeper understanding and appreciation of the world’s oldest living culture. Whether you're a seasoned collector or simply curious, IAM is a welcoming space for all to enjoy and learn. It’s also a rare opportunity to purchase museum and gallery-quality artworks direct from the source.

Across the weekend, you can enjoy live performances by First Nations artists, explore a variety of delicious offerings from local food trucks, and soak up the atmosphere on the beautiful Acton Peninsula.

Join us on the lawns of the AIATSIS Maraga building, Acton Peninsula, from Friday 7 to Sunday 9 November 2025.

Follow all the action on our online channels and use the hashtag #IAMaiatsis.

This event has now concluded.
