From collecting artworks to experiencing the nexus of art and technology, across Darwin, North Queensland, South Australia, Melbourne, Sydney and much more, here’s our curated list of the arts festivals and fairs still to come in 2024.
Wendy Sharpe’s expressive paintings incorporate social criticism and otherworldly dreamscapes, blending the real and imagined. With showings at the Art Gallery of New South Wales and Rockhampton Museum of Art, she reflects on her three-decade practice and that iconic painting of Magda Szubanski.
A new exhibition at the Art Gallery of Ballarat asks nine Australian and five US artists to respond to the visual culture of the landscapes and architecture of Palm Springs, California.
Working between Indonesia and Australia, Jumaadi’s art draws on Javanese folk culture to excavate themes of colonialism, suffering, death and birth. His work is featured in an exhibition now showing at Bundanon Art Museum.
Festivals can be overwhelming, especially during a cost-of-living crisis. So we’ve curated the ‘must-see-but-on-a-budget’ art events at this year’s RISING—all free or low cost with no bookings required, from Richard Bell’s iconic Embassy tent to Jeremy Deller’s 24 Hour Rock Show to art-filled micro-bars.
A surrealist legend, a cyber-futurist Chinese artist and a revered painter are showing in Sydney later this year: René Magritte and Cao Fei at the Art Gallery of New South Wales, and Julie Mehretu at the Museum of Contemporary Art.
