The Fair will be housed in a temporary structure within the Southbank Arts Precinct and alongside the iconic Australian Centre for Contemporary Art (ACCA) The revitalised fair is driven by the newly appointed Melbourne Art Foundation Director and CEO Maree Di Pasquale, who brings international art fair expertise having worked in key global markets across Asia and t...he Middle East. At AGAA, we are very excited that 3 of our members will hold a seat on the new Melbourne Art Foundation Board. We are also very excited by the opportunity that the Melbourne Art Fair will present to our member galleries, by providing commercial opportunities for the industry, and building national and international audiences for the Australian art market.
