Open Art Space
Fitzroy Public Gallery is a vibrant space for emerging artists, located on Smith Street, welcoming everyone to experience art and creativity.
The gallery space is an open plan, warehouse space overlooking Smith St - the coolest street in the world - in the beating heart of Fitzroy.
East-facing windows give this space a sunny, airy feel. Polished wooden floorboards ooze vintage charm. White walls bounce light and enhance the brightness. The background and fittings are industrial and basic.
Freedom to move, breathe and express creativity. Bring us your idea and we'll make it work.
Yours to fill with your work however you like. Big ideas or small, share your talent and creativity.
