There’s nothing like experiencing art in person, and nowhere does it quite like Sydney Contemporary.

100 galleries from nine countries come together at Carriageworks for the 10th edition of Australasia’s premier art fair, delivering four unforgettable days of discovery, conversation and spectacle.

For one week only, Carriageworks becomes the centre of the art world in our region, alive with buzzing crowds, ambitious installations, performances, talks and inspiring encounters with artists and galleries. Whether you’re a seasoned collector, a curious first-timer or simply looking for Sydney’s most exciting cultural event this spring, this is the edition not to miss.

First Release tickets are on sale now, with savings of up to 35%.
