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
