While there’s a huge selection of spaces available in Sydney, it might seem difficult to find a venue that fits all your criteria. But worry not, we’re here to help! 

Galleries and function rooms are perfect for smaller exhibitions. Imagine showcasing your creations at an airy showroom with a view of sparkling Darling Harbour, for example! These spaces will allow you to create a more private, exclusive feel. Artsy cafes and studios are a good alternative, too.

Exhibition halls and convention and conference centres work best for major events. If you’re looking for something flexible, with plenty of space to arrange your stalls and exhibits while still leaving some breathing room, they are your go-to! You can also make use of their professional sound and lighting facilities.

Whatever type of venue you choose, you’ll want to check if it allows ticketed and promoted events. You can do that using our smart search filters! 

The simple answer is: most of them do. However, the offerings might vary, so make sure to read the fine print! Some exhibition venues are situated in areas with free on-street parking and nearby private parking lots, for example the Sydney Showroom on Botany Road or Flow Studios on Denison Street. If you’re looking for a space with on-site parking, consider a space like the CommBank Stadium, which has 500 parking spaces available at the venue!

Booked Exhibition space @Chippendale at Exhibition space @Chippendale
5.0
My experience with Redbase Art Space was absolutely phenomenal. I used the space to transform it into a private art gallery, displaying my paintings of me and my partner for a surprise proposal. From the very beginning, Nancy and her team were incredibly welcoming and professional. Their attention to detail and willingness to make my vision a reality was second to none. The team truly went above and beyond to ensure every aspect was perfect, and you could feel their genuine excitement and love for the event. They were just as invested in making it a special moment as I was. The space itself is also beautiful—clean amenities and so spacious that we were able to comfortably host just over 40 people. I genuinely couldn't have asked for a better venue or a more supportive team. Would give more than 5 stars if I could!

Booked Gallery Space + Studio Hire at Studio 551
5.0
Myself and two friends hired Studio 551 for our art exhibition opening night and gallery viewing. The venue had everything we needed including a hanging system, back storage area, plinths, trestle table and fridge all for what we felt was a very reasonable price. Fabian was incredibly helpful and responsive to queries and the process for booking and setting up the space was simple and stress free. The venue itself was ideal; high ceilings, great lighting, clean, excellent location, air conditioned and was the perfect size for three artists and really helped to elevate and showcase our work as effectively as possible. We received a lot of positive feedback from our friends, family and walk-ins who came to see the show, so the space was also equally enjoyed by our patrons. Would definitely recommend and hire again, thank you Fabian!
