The Tribal Art Fair Sydney-2017 held this year at the Masonic Hall in Kensington was even better than last year having twice the number of visitors. Sydney kindly put on good weather for the occasion. The door opened at 9am with the rush of early birds eager for the best pickings. This was followed by a steady stream of enthusiastic tribal art shoppers and many newcomers buying throughout the day. People came from as far afield as Hawaii, Perth, Melbourne and Brisbane and are already looking forward to returning next year.
The new Banner, with its brilliant yellow-painted Huli Wigman face, hung high outside the venue, looked fantastic from afar, stopped people in their tracks, and brought a lot of them inside. You can see it in the host of Fair photos on the OAS Facebook page and the Website.
Vendors this year starred dealers Chris Boylan, Geoff Carey, Erwin Kok, Scott Rainbow, Arthur Whall and Paul Bertram, with collectors Dr John Yu and Thelma Murphy, and stand maker Morgan Shimeld adding their wares to the display.
