ABOUT THE EXHIBITION

The Cairns Indigenous Art Fair’s Big Sculpture touring exhibition is a captivating showcase, presenting the cultural talents of emerging and prominent artists.

At the heart of this exhibition are large-scale commissioned works that stand as testaments to the artists’ profound connection to culture, land, and heritage. Through the masterful use of modern and repurposed materials, the sculptures not only reflect artistic prowess but also echo a commitment to sustainability and innovation.

From the striking layering of Brian Robinson’s work to the powerful narratives of country conveyed by Shirley Macnamara’s piece, Big Sculpture promises a thought-provoking and visually stunning experience, celebrating the richness of First Nations artistry in Queensland.

Free entry, no bookings required.

Presented by Brisbane Festival and Brisbane Powerhouse.
