For four days each February, Melbourne Art Fair brings together leading galleries, Indigenous-owned art centres, artists, collectors and audiences within a major exhibition setting. Established more than three decades ago, the Fair occupies a significant position in the Australasian cultural calendar, supporting living artists through the presentation of contemporary art across a wide range of practices.
The 2026 edition takes place at the Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Centre and introduces FUTUREOBJEKT, a new platform dedicated to collectible design. Alongside curated gallery presentations, the Fair fosters critical and commercial exchange, encouraging dialogue between artists, institutions and the wider public. The programme extends beyond exhibition booths to include conversations, partnerships and site-specific initiatives that reflect current cultural and spatial concerns.
