Four Distinct Sectors

The Galleries sector brings together leading Australian, New Zealand and international galleries, presenting outstanding solo and group exhibitions across every medium.

Launched in 2025, Photo Sydney is a dedicated fair-within-a-fair spotlighting the best of contemporary photography,  from documentary and conceptual work to large-scale experimental practice. A significant new platform for photographers, collectors and anyone who has ever wanted to start collecting photography.

A platform for the next generation. The Future sector is dedicated to young galleries that have been operating for five years or less, presenting curated solo or duo exhibitions of new work. It is consistently one of the most exciting parts of the fair — the place to discover artists and galleries before everyone else does.

The Works on Paper sector showcases the best of national and international contemporary works on paper — watercolours, drawings, artist books, prints and editions. One of the most accessible entry points for new collectors, and a rich hunting ground for those who already collect.
