FUTURES

FUTURES is a new project space conceived mid-pandemic by Steven Stewart and Zara Sigglekow with the express purpose of exposing important work of contemporary artists in the city of Narrm/Melbourne. The gallery occupies a sinuous but workable 55 m2 exhibition space in uptown Collingwood. With a focus on Australian emerging artists, FUTURES will also introduce works of their established American counterparts.

Wheelchair accessible by appointment.
