Darwin Aboriginal Art Fair

During the 13, 14 and 15th of August, 2009 Bula’bula Arts exhibited at the Darwin Aboriginal Art Fair.  This was a very successful event for Bula’bula Arts to be a part of, as it enabled the Art Centre to touch base with many gallery and museum personnel from around Australia, and also make good sales of fibre art, bark painting, canvas paintings and limited edition prints.  Over 30 Aboriginal Art Centres from around Australia exhibited at the show, which coincided with the 26th Telstra National Aboriginal & Torres Strait Islander Art Award (NATSIAA).
