Celebrate the visual arts on a year-round basis by joining our Art Lovers program.
The Melbourne Art Fair has a cultural significance beyond its amazing collection of 80 galleries represented in stalls throughout the enormous Royal Exhibition Building... The significance of the event is not just that the public enthusiasm for art is visible, with visitors and collectors talking to people from galleries. It's also a chance for the art scene to recognise itself as a community...

Held every two years, the fair has deservedly earned a reputation as on of the pre-eminent trade fairs in our region and without doubt is one of the most important events in the contemporary Australian art calendar.
