Eden and the Willow

Eden and the Willow is a new gallery for contemporary art located in Newtown, Sydney, having opened in September 2020.

The galleries intention is to create a space that offers the usual refuge of an art gallery, and also a place where micro-events, such as an impromptu encounter that yields a meaningful exchange with a stranger, become possible.

It is envisioned that Eden and the Willow will develop as a curated cross-platform hosting exhibitions for emerging and established artists from across different disciplines, including performance and design.

Eden and the Willow is committed to being a part, and a catalyst for creative exploration and engagement.

Doing it the Womanifesto way

The grassroots women’s art collective Womanifesto, which formed in Thailand in 1995, did not shut down with the rest of the world in 2020. Instead, it adapted, and now the works made by the Sydney contingent during that time are showing at 4A Centre for Contemporary Asian Art.
