Australian contemporary art exhibitions

Overview

Australian art institutions have launched several new exhibition series and collaborative projects focusing on emerging talent, regional history, and cultural identity.

In late September 2026, the Australian Centre for Contemporary Art (ACCA) introduced NEW26, a biennial series featuring seven emerging artists addressing themes such as identity and AI technology. Concurrently, Museums Victoria announced the Australian premiere of ‘On Country: Photography from Australia’, an exhibition exploring the connection to land and the impacts of colonialism through the work of 17 Indigenous and non-Indigenous artists.

By mid-October 2026, regional galleries in New South Wales initiated a collaborative series involving the Bathurst, Cowra, and Orange regional galleries to showcase local talent and First Nations art. Additionally, the Newcastle Art Gallery debuted a career-spanning exhibition by artist Angela Tiatia alongside an immersive installation by A. A. Murakami titled ‘New Spring’.
