Cairns Indigenous Art Fair Opening Party
The ultimate art party in the tropics, the Cairns Indigenous Art Fair Opening Party is an exclusive chance to view and buy artwork before the Art Fair opens to the public on Friday 2O August. With dance and music, fine wine, fusion cuisine and a curator talk, the Opening Party is a celebration that lingers long in the memory.
Be welcomed with a traditional Yindinji smoking ceremony by the Traditional Owners of Cairns and marvel at the magnificent art for sale. Performers at this year's event include William Barton in collaboration with Kirtley Leigh Paine, the Gondwana National Indigenous Children's Choir, the Injinoo Dancers and Moses Warusam.
The Four Elements
In an international premiere, didgeridoo performer, William Barton joins violinist Kirtley Leigh Paine to premiere their composition. The artists intertwine the elements of wind, water, air and earth, portraying the common language music shares across all cultures and traditions, and highlighting the contrasts of their art forms.
