This is Art. This is Melbourne.
Melbourne Art Fair is where the familiar meets the unexpected. There are conversations that start with “I love this” and others that ask, “What am I looking at?” Both end somewhere interesting. Follow what catches your eye. Explore works by artists, galleries, designers and Indigenous-owned art centres from across Australia and beyond. Expect bold ideas, quiet moments, and at least one work that stays with you long after you leave. With four days to wander, there’s plenty of time to find something you love and make it yours.

About
Melbourne Art Fair is a temporary cultural environment constructed each February within the Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Centre. For four days, it becomes a concentrated nexus of art, design and culture. Melbourne Art Fair brings together leading galleries, artists, collectors, designers and cultural organisations from across Australia, the Asia Pacific and beyond. Exhibitions, large-scale installations, talks, events and bespoke hospitality programs unfold across the site, creating a dynamic setting where cultural and commercial worlds intersect. The Fair operates not only as an exhibition, but as a meeting place, a space for exchange, connection and influence.
In 2027, Melbourne Art Fair marks its 20th edition — a significant milestone of supporting living artists while contributing to Melbourne’s position as one of the leading creative capitals in the region.
