Sydney Contemporary, Australasia's premier art fair, returns this spring, with its strongest fair to date, showcasing the region's diverse contemporary art scene.

85+ galleries from Australia and New Zealand exhibiting new work by 500+ artists from around the world.

Since its establishment in 2013, the past editions of Sydney Contemporary have attracted more than 112,000 visitors and recorded more than AU$85million in art sales, with 2022 set to build on those figures. 

Sydney Contemporary has been firmly established as the most influential fair in the region, and the sixth edition of Sydney Contemporary promises to be our strongest Fair yet. The Fair provides the largest concentration of art sales annually in Australia and we expect 2022 to be no exception.

- Tim Etchells, Sydney Contemporary Founder 


Sydney Contemporary is proud to be presented in partnership with ASX-listed financial services firm, MA Financial Group. Together we share values of integrity and excellence, along with a passion for contemporary art. 

As a long-time supporter of contemporary artists we believe a vibrant arts community is an important pillar of our dynamic culture. We look forward to a fruitful association as Principal Partner of Australasia’s premier contemporary art fair.

- Andrew Martin, MA Financial Group Managing Director and Head of Asset Management
