The dynamic program of Contempo events is planned around all aspects of the contemporary art world. Throughout the calendar year there are over 70 Contempo specific events held at both the Gallery and other major venues throughout Sydney. Informative, educational, practical and fun – the broad and diverse spectrum caters to everyone. Add to that all the other Gallery events that Contempo members have access to and you’ll find more than enough to keep you busy.
Contempo events are also a great social outlet. By bringing people together in relaxed, informal and entertaining settings they offer a platform to meet others, share interests and, of course, have fun. If you’re interested in working as a volunteer at Contempo events send an email and we’ll contact you with the details of how to get involved.
