The interests of an art gallery enthusiast and a diehard NBA basketball fan have never truly intersected. But considering the sportโs rising popularity here in Australia โ as well as its connection to the domestic sporting-cum-fashion culture โ an NBA gallery was almost inevitable.
The NBA is launching an official pop-up exhibition in Sydney this month, which is set to be a multi-media experience centred on Australiaโs connection to the history of the American sporting league. From installations to graffiti works, you can expect an exciting showcase of our countryโs art and culture scene as a whole.
The NBA gallery includes original artwork from artists such as Dennis Golding, Kris Andrew Small, Mini Swoosh, Nike Savvas, Noah Johnson, Roman Jody, Scott Marsh, Serwah Attafuah, as well as Sonny Day.

Alongside this, youโll also be able to watch NBA Australiaโs new series Ingrained โ which has been given its own room to be screened at this exhibition.
The show, created by Matthew Adekponya, features a wide range of Aussie athletes discussing our basketball culture, including the WNBAโs Opal Ezi Magbegor and maverick tennis superstar Nick Kyrgios. And for those who canโt make it, fear not โ episodes will be uploaded to NBA Australiaโs social channels.
The NBA Gallery will be hosted at Sydneyโs EDDY entertainment complex (near Central Station) from August 18th to September 1st. Opening hours will be from 11 AM to 7 PM every single day while entry will be completely free.
