Melbourne Art Fair brings the high energy each year and this 17th edition is marked by a mammoth program of showcases, activations and satellite presentations.
Melbourne Art Fair’s 2024 edition really embodied its theme of ‘ketherba/together’. The opening night Vernissage is always highly anticipated, attracting an art-loving crowd of celebrities, media, artists, gallerists, dealers, collectors, designers and more. There was Troy Sivan wandering the aisles, alongside familiar faces such as Australian TV personality Shaynna Blaze, mainstays of the Melbourne creative scene David Flack (this year an MAF ambassador).
Top that with all the hottest names in the Australian and Melbourne art scene today – it was the perfect opportunity to put faces to the names you follow.
Amidst the buzz of people and visual kaleidoscope of exquisite art in all its imaginable forms and mediums, you can’t help but seek out the lightning strikes. The work of fibre artist and weaver Tammy Kanat (Gallery Sally Dan-Cuthbert), was a grounding moment – curious and compelling in its texture, colour, rhythm and balance: an almost miracle blend of beauty that occurs through Kanat’s intuitive artmaking. She was this year awarded the Richard Parker Award.
