From January 18–22, 2017, around thirty specialized international dealers, some visitors and some permanent residents, will participate in this wintery event.

The other, presented by Aboriginal Signature gallery and titled Empreintes éternelles (Eternal Imprints) will feature Aboriginal paintings from Australia’s Central Desert.
