Artworks Management Policy

Sydney Opera House will not acquire artworks on any permanent basis either through purchase or as a gift or part of a sponsorship. Rather, Sydney Opera House will implement a program of selecting and exhibiting works on a rotating basis. The selection of works for temporary display will be made according to the following criteria:

• Works of excellence
• Preference for Australian works
• Works that are more than just decorative i.e., should include works that challenge (match the expectation of the building)
• Works are not on permanent display
• Works selected to complement the exhibition space
