69 Smith Street Gallery is an artist-run gallery in inner Melbourne that focuses on fostering emerging and young artists.

The gallery takes no commission on sales and is run entirely by a group of dedicated volunteers.

The space consists of five showrooms and an outdoor sculpture garden, and equipment has recently been installed to allow exhibitions by video and sound artists.

Being involved in 69 Smith Street provides artists with the opportunity to converse, share ideas and thoughts, promote their own and fellow artists’ work, as well as be a part of an inclusive artist community. In our annual program, we include exhibitions, forums, publications, talks and social events in a supportive atmosphere, all of which provide a great contrast to the public and commercial galleries.
