The Galleries
Ten editions in, Sydney Contemporary continues to bring together the most compelling voices in contemporary art, from long-established names to galleries you’ll be discovering for the first time.
Every work on show is for sale, spanning accessible editions in Works on Paper through to large-scale sculpture, with something at every price point for the first-time buyer and the seasoned collector alike. The 2026 participating galleries will be announced in June.
FOUR DISTINCT SECTORS
The Sectors
The Galleries sector presents a curated mix of solo and group exhibitions from leading galleries, offering new and important works across every medium.
Launched in 2025, Photo Sydney is a dedicated sector 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.
Presented in association with the Print Council of Australia, 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.
