Sydney Contemporary, Australasia’s leading contemporary art fair, returns to Carriageworks from 3-6 September 2026 for its 10th anniversary edition. Presented in partnership with MA Financial Group, the fair will feature more than 100 galleries from Australia, New Zealand, Asia, and the United Kingdom, bringing work by more that 500 artists from 33 countries.
Over a decade on, Sydney Contemporary continues to attract the country’s most respected galleries, with the majority of exhibitors returning year after year - a testament to the Fair’s enduring role as Australasia’s premier platform for contemporary art. Showcasing the breadth of contemporary art across painting, sculpture, photography, installation, works on paper and new media, the Fair offers audiences and collectors at every stage the opportunity to discover significant new work by leading and emerging artistic voices, with all works available for acquisition.
Sydney Contemporary Founder and Co-Owner Tim Etchells said: “As we celebrate our 10th edition, we’re delighted to showcase exceptional presentations by over 100 exhibitors, many of whom have been with us since the very first edition of the Fair. Sydney Contemporary has grown into one of the region's most anticipated events and a vital part of our cultural ecosystem, a genuine meeting ground for collectors, artists, gallerists, curators, advisors and new buyers alike, and I am proud of the role it plays in supporting living artists by generating the highest concentration of art sales in Australasia each year. We can’t wait to welcome visitors through the doors in September, for what is shaping up to be our most exciting program yet.”
