Melbourne Art Fair

Galleries

Australasia’s progressive forum for contemporary art returns in 2020 to present iconic and new work by artists from over 50 of the region’s most respected galleries.

Melbourne Art Fair is a seminal fixture on the Australasian cultural calendar, stimulating critical and commercial attention for galleries and their artists for over 30 years. Held within the world-class Melbourne Exhibition and Convention Centre 18 – 21 June, the fair facilitates the exhibition and sale of important and ambitious work to new and established collectors from Australasia and beyond.

Co-timed with DENFAIR, Australia’s destination for contemporary design, the 16thedition will build on its long-standing success and reputation, as well as leverage an established audience of architects and interior designers.

Successful applicants will be considered for additional opportunities, the Melbourne Art Foundation Commission and participation in the ‘Beyond’ program.
