Sydney Contemporary is a signature event of Arts Fairs Australia, launched in 2013. Its inaugural Director, Barry Keldoulis has been key in building the organisation’s growth – not only its terms of its national profile, but also its international reach. He is now stepping down from the role after a decade of leadership.
ArtsHub speaks with Keldoulis as he is looking at booth floor plans for the oversubscribed next event, which will be held in September this year, under a new Fair Director.
