Thu 15 Jun 2023 - Sun 18 Jun 2023

The art fair for everyone returns on 15 - 18 June 2023 at The Royal Randwick Racecourse, Winx Stand . The fair has sold artwork everywhere from Berlin to Brussels, Hong Kong, Shanghai, London and New York. Now Sydneysiders will have the opportunity to see the vast collection of contemporary artwork and take a piece of their own home.

The art fair follows through on its promise to be affordable with prices between $100 – $10,000. Artwork will be clearly labelled so you can avoid that awkward 'how much will this set me back?' question. There will also be a giveaway for visitors who subscribe to the art fair's email updates - the winner will be given $1,000 credit to spend at the art fair.

Invest in an up-and-coming artist or find a painting to make your personal sanctuary feel extra special. Any purchases you make can be wrapped up for you - free of charge - courtesy of Grace Fine Art. Obtain a taste of the artwork you can expect to find on the fair website's inspiration page .

The art fair's campaign artist is Renée Broders. Renee is known for combining both digital technology and traditional painting to create striking and intimate portraitures. Renée describes it as a 'collage process' in this online interview about her artistic approach and style.

The fair will also display the artwork of emerging talents including Alice Oehr . Alice exhibited her work last year in Melbourne. You will be able to find Alice's still-life drawings at the fair's EVOLVE platform .

Even if you're not in the art-buying market, the fair is a great way to see hundreds of art pieces and discover talented Australian artists at the same location. It might inspire you to pick up a paintbrush yourself. TAFE NSW is collaborating with the art fair to provide a Creative Hub, a space for visitors of all ages to explore their creativity, including colouring for kids and educational workshops.

There will be food and beverage vendors so you can spend the day meandering through the awe-inspiring displays without having to go far in search of a snack. Getting to the racecourse is easy with the light rail service and regular bus routes stopping nearby. There is also free and accessible parking at the infield car park (subject to availability) and paid parking at Ascot Street with a $10 day rate. View transport information here

Opening night on Thursday 15 June (5pm – 9pm) will be the first opportunity for the public to view the art on sale. The fair will be open all day on Friday at 10am - 8pm on and 10am - 5pm on Saturday and Sunday.

You can purchase an advanced ticket to the art fair for $19 (one-day general entry) up to 14 June. The full ticket price is $25 for one day or $45 for entry across all four days and opening night. Children under 16 years old can attend for free with an accompanying adult. Purchase your tickets on Eventbrite and enjoy a day out at the fair.
