Mark your calendar for the Glebe Art Show at Tramsheds — a lively, family-friendly art exhibition where you can see and buy original artworks from local artists. It’s perfect for parents looking for a relaxed school-holiday outing that combines creativity, community and a chance to inspire young artists.
Wander through a wide range of artworks created by both established and emerging local artists, with plenty of kid-friendly pieces to spark imagination and conversation. The atmosphere is relaxed and welcoming, ideal for families who want to introduce children to art and galleries without the formality of a museum visit.
There are a few activities designed to engage different ages and interests, including an adult Art Quiz to test art knowledge and a fun Kids' Quiz offering a chance to win a Big Art Box. These are light-hearted, family-focused extras that make a visit interactive and memorable.
You can expect to browse and buy artworks directly at the show or online, with free entry to view the exhibition. It’s a great opportunity to support local artists and find distinctive pieces for your home, all in a convenient Tramsheds location.
The main public exhibition runs from 2026-10-08 to 2026-10-14 with typical opening hours of 10:00 to 19:00 each day. Note that some evenings during the run (particularly Friday and Saturday) may have extended hours until 21:00 for late browsing and special events.
Specific highlight: Sunday 2026-10-12 operates 10:00 to 19:00 and is an excellent family day for quieter viewing and the kids’ activities. There is an artists-only opening on the evening of 2026-10-07 from 18:00 to 20:00, which is not part of the public viewing schedule.
Plan for 45–90 minutes depending on how many activities your family joins — the Kids' Quiz and browsing artworks can easily fill a pleasant morning or afternoon outing. Bring a camera for safe, non-flash photos and comfortable shoes for walking around the exhibition space.
The show is held at Tramsheds - Sydney, 1 Dalgal Way, Annandale NSW, a central and well-known venue that’s easy to reach by public transport or car. The Tramsheds site offers a family-friendly setting with cafes and spaces to rest between viewing galleries.
Mobility access is provided at the venue, with wheelchair-accessible entrances and accessible bathrooms. If you rely on specific supports, arrive a little earlier to allow time to navigate the space comfortably and locate accessible facilities.
For public transport and parking, check local transit options to Tramsheds (buses and nearby train connections) and allow extra time on busy days; weekend events can attract higher visitor numbers. There are nearby cafes if you want to combine the visit with a casual meal or snack.
Entry to view the artworks is free for the public, but all artworks are for sale and priced individually by the artists. The Glebe Art Show is supported by local councils and businesses, and some prizes are sponsored by local organisations — perfect for community-minded families who like to support local creatives.
Accessibility services are available and the venue highlights mobility access among other supports. If you or a family member needs additional assistance, consider bringing a companion; venues often accept Companion Card arrangements where applicable.
While the exhibition is family-friendly, some areas may have delicate works; supervise younger children closely and encourage hands-off viewing unless a display is explicitly interactive. Sensible footwear and a lightweight bag for any purchases will make the visit easier for busy parents.
Public viewing is free and does not generally require booking — just turn up during opening hours between 10:00 and 19:00 (with some late nights to 21:00 on select days). If you plan to attend a specific ticketed event or the artists-only opening, check event notices for RSVP requirements.
Artworks are for sale and prices vary by artist; bring payment options or enquire with sellers about card or online purchase methods. The Kids' Quiz is typically free to enter, and the Big Art Box prize offers a fun incentive for children to engage with the exhibition.
If you need specific access information or have questions about items for sale, contact the event organisers ahead of your visit. Otherwise, arrive during standard hours, enjoy the free exhibition, and take home inspiration (or an artwork) to remember the day.
