Overview

This September sees one historic Sydney hotel transformed into a multi-faceted gallery space, when it plays host to the next edition of contemporary art fair, Spring 1883. From Wednesday, September 11, to Saturday, September 14, 26 acclaimed art galleries from across Australia, New Zealand and the USA will descend on the Establishment Hotel to deliver an intimate art experience.

Far from your average art fair, Spring 1883 will showcase an array of surprising installations and shows, incorporated throughout the hotel's rooms, penthouse suites and even its gymnasium. As you wander the site, you'll stumble upon a curation of various works from the likes of Sydney's Cement Fondu, Melbourne's John Street Studios, {Suite} and Mercy Pictures out of New Zealand and New York-based Dutton gallery.

Brisbane's The Renshaws will make its Spring 1883 debut with a solo exhibition by Michael Georgetti, while Sydney's own artist-run space Fires will curate the Project Room: a group show by five Aussie artists taking over the Establishment's gym.

Spring 1883 runs from Thursday and Saturday midday–7pm, and Friday midday–8pm.
