BlakSeeds Fest

First Nations / For Artists

Come celebrate the incredible talent of First Nations artists at our mini festival! This vibrant event will feature a dynamic exhibition with both emerging and established artists, artist stalls, live music, and hands-on workshops—fun for the whole family! It’s a unique chance to dive into the creativity and excellence of First Nations artists, while fostering connections between artists and the community.

Curated and programmed by First Nations young people, we’re thrilled to showcase this incredible lineup:

  • Sonia Smith
  • Lakinyeri
  • Tilly Tjala Thomas
  • Cringetrender
  • Jirrah X The Yowie
  • BOUSTA
  • Plus more to be announced!

PLUS artist stall, food and more!

Bring your friends, a picnic rug and enjoy this uplifting experience that highlights the rich cultural heritage and artistic achievements of First Nations communities.

Can’t make it to Blak Seeds Fest? The celebration doesn’t end there! The exhibition will remain open for two weeks after the festival, giving you plenty of time to experience the inspiring works of First Nations artists and connect with their creativity and stories.
