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.

Inside Kirtika Kain’s Sydney apartment, and now studio

Kirtika Kain’s Western Sydney apartment on Dharug Country is crowded with boxes of materials and new canvases. She came back from a residency in Italy in late 2022 and since then she’s been living alongside her work, preparing for her solo exhibition at Roslyn Oxley9 and for the Biennale of Sydney next year.
