VIP ART TOUR with Elle Zoltak

Wednesday 2 – Friday 4 September 2026

I'm so excited to invite you to my annual Sydney Contemporary Collectors Program, taking place from Wednesday 2 September – Friday 4 September 2026.

If you love art, beautiful spaces and spending time with a fantastic group of like-minded people, I'd absolutely love you to join us in Sydney for what is always one of the highlights of my year.

Over three days, I'll be taking our group behind the scenes of Sydney Contemporary with experiences you simply can't have on your own.

Your experience will include:

VIP Preview access to Sydney Contemporary before it opens to the public
A complimentary VIP Pass for the fair with access to the Collectors Lounge
Visits to some of Sydney's most beautiful private homes to experience incredible art collections
Behind-the-scenes access to museums before they open to the public
Gallery, exhibition and artist studio visits
Invitations to selected off-site events and after-parties
Preferred accommodation rates with our hotel partners
My art advisory and guidance throughout the entire program

We'll kick things off on Wednesday morning with a champagne breakfast and a few collection visits before heading to the VIP Preview of Sydney Contemporary. Thursday and Friday will be filled with private collection visits, exhibitions, special events and plenty of time at the fair.

One of the best parts of this program is the people. Every year we bring together a fantastic mix of collectors and art lovers, and it's become such a fun few days of discovering great art, sharing ideas and making new connections.

To keep the experience intimate, places are strictly limited, so I'd encourage you to book early!
