Sydney Contemporary
Australia's leading art fair returns to Carriageworks for its 10th edition, with spatial commissions placing architects at the centre of the programme.
Location: Carriageworks, Eveleigh
Date: 3 September 2026 to 6 September 2026
Sydney Contemporary returns to Carriageworks in Eveleigh from 3 to 6 September 2026 for its 10th edition. The fair assembles galleries from across Australia and the Asia Pacific region, presenting exhibitions, live performances, and large-scale installations across the Carriageworks industrial heritage sheds.
The Spatial Commissions programme invites architects and artists to collaborate on ambitious works designed specifically for the Carriageworks spaces. These commissions sit at the intersection of gallery practice and spatial design, drawing practitioners who work across cultural infrastructure, installation, and scenography in projects that test the boundaries of both disciplines.
Carriageworks has hosted Sydney Contemporary since the inaugural edition in 2013. A Collector Preview opens on 2 September ahead of the general public programme. The 10th edition marks a significant milestone for the fair as a permanent fixture in the Asia Pacific art calendar.
