Eveleigh
Set within the extraordinary industrial heritage space of Carriageworks — a converted railway workshop — the fair combines high-quality gallery presentations with site-specific commissions, performance, and a rich public programme. It is the primary gathering point for collectors, curators, and cultural figures from across Australia, New Zealand, and the broader Asia-Pacific.
Sydney in early September is at its most glorious — the first days of spring, with mild temperatures and long golden light. The fair coincides with a broader week of gallery openings, museum events, and collector dinners across one of the world's most liveable cities.
City Guides
Sydney is a city of staggering natural beauty and cultural richness. The Museum of Contemporary Art Australia occupies a prime harbour position, and the Art Gallery of New South Wales spans the collection from ancient works to bleeding-edge contemporary. Add a harbour ferry to Cockatoo Island's outdoor sculpture installations for a perfect cultural weekend.
