What do Laura Jones, Julia Gutman and Blak Douglas have in common? They’re all celebrated Archibald Prize winners – and they’ve all created and donated original artworks for the Incognito Art Show. And at just $100 a piece, you just might be able to get your paws on one of their works.
Returning to Carriageworks Sydney from June 27, the Incognito Art Show has around 20,000 original artworks by more than 15,000 artists. All A5 in size, they're up for grabs at very affordable price of just $100 each. And while the show also heads to Brisbane and Townsville, the Sydney collection is by far the biggest. Just sayin’.
Now, are you ready for the plot twist? The artist remains a mystery until after you’ve bought the artwork. Yes, the artist stays anonymous before purchase, with their name and signature revealed on the reverse side once the artwork is yours.
So unless you’ve got the eye of a seasoned gallery curator, you’re choosing pieces purely because you gravitate towards them – not because there’s a famous name attached. Who knows, you could walk away with a work by an emerging artist whose career is about to take off or unknowingly snag something by one of Australia’s most acclaimed names.
What’s more, the event supports artists with disabilities – 100 per cent of profits go towards their professional development. In 2026, funds raised will support Studio A in North Sydney, The Art Factory in Wagga Wagga and Access Arts in Brisbane.
"Incognito has cemented itself as a key date on the Australian arts calendar, with art lovers lining up around the block each year to enjoy the fun of the mystery, support Australian artists and pick up high-quality art for a fraction of the price," says Incognito Art Show co-founder David Liston.
The Sydney sale takes place at Carriageworks, Eveleigh from Saturday, June 27 until Sunday, July 5. Psst! If you don’t see yourself standing in long queues (which will definitely be the case), you can browse and buy online. To browse artworks and build your wishlist, head to the website.
