Geelong Art Space

Geelong Art Space is an eclectic and independent gallery promoting local and regional contemporary craft makers and artists, together with those from further afield.

The space is located in a heritage building dating back to 1915. One of Geelong’s first florists initially occupied the storefront.

Right in the heart of the Arts and Culture Precinct of Geelong CBD, they are less than a 5 minute walk from Geelong Art Gallery.
