Contemporary Art Gallery
We have a wonderful light filled gallery space with beautiful full height street windows in our character filled creative hub. We specialise in showcasing emerging and mid-career contemporary artists from Melbourne and Regional Victoria in our curated group exhibitions, solo shows, as well as collective and private group exhibitions.
We run a full schedule of rotating gallery exhibitions in our two gallery spaces through out the year, so there is always something new to discover. We love supporting Victorian Artists to grow in their practice and confidence as they progress in their artistic career at any age!
We are a full service commercial gallery, from curating, hanging, manning, sales, demounting, and promotion, we take care of it all, so artists need only drop off their work, and then collect unsold works wrapped and ready for transport home.
With modern track gallery lighting and hanging system as well as an abundance of plinths in all sizes, along with access to partition walls, our two galleries transform into the space that is needed for each exhibition.
We take the stress, learning curve and decision paralysis out of exhibiting as a emerging artist, so they can concentrate on the art.

FRAGILE FUTURES - DINA GOEBEL
17 September – 12 October, 2026
Fragile Futures by mixed media sculptural artist Dina Goebel explores the Anthropocene and the fragile balance between consumerism and conservation. Influenced by coastal ecology, specimen aesthetics and contemporary material waste, she works with resin, glass, 3D-printing waste and mixed media to create sculptural forms that draw viewers in through beauty, curiosity and material detail.
Dina uses marine-inspired forms, specimen-like objects, human relics and imagined future species to reflect on what we make, what we value and what we leave behind. This exhibition brings together intimate sculptural objects and larger installation works that transform contemporary material by-products into forms of attraction, uncertainty and environmental unease.
