Melbourne Art Fair 2026

Melbourne Art Fair 2026 is a four-day contemporary art event held from 19 to 22 February 2026 at the Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Centre in South Wharf, Australia. Now in its 19th edition, the Fair is bringing together leading galleries, Indigenous art centers and a broad range of contemporary practices under one roof. The program features focused solo and curated group presentations, large-scale installations, video works, talks and other public-facing activities that encourage engagement between artists, collectors and visitors. 

In 2026 the fair also introduces Futureobjekt, a new salon dedicated to collectible contemporary design, expanding the event's scope beyond visual arts.
