We've found a great little 'underground' spot at 294 Sydney Road, Balgowlah which we've turned into Studio and Gallery space for local Artists. I'm really excited about this, it's been a LONG process, but I'm really stoked about all of it - including the Artists so far that I'll get to do what I love surrounded by.

It's an Underground space, which I really quite like - there's a kind of exclusive, boutique feel about it. It's raw and industrial, and pretty special really. There's also an incredible backyard where I already see myself  with easels and paint on sunny days, bubbles and tealight candles on opening nights...Something for everyone! We've had the studios running since Easter, and the Gallery part of the space officially opened with astounding success on August 5th 2010 with the group show 'Editors Pic(k)s'.

We will be running both Group and Solo shows throughout the year, so keep checking out the 'What's New' section of this website to see who we're showing and when. The hours of open will be dependent on each show, so do check this regularly.  I'm pretty flexible with after hours appointments for art viewing, so don't hesitate to call me if you can't make the opening hours, and don't want to miss out on viewing the shows.

We will be taking submissions for upcoming shows (both solo and group) routinely, so email all expressions of interest/submissions to: This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it . It is the intention of Underground ARTspace to present a balance of genres and types of artistic expression throughout the year. This means that not all applications will be successful. This is due to many factors and should not be taken as a rejection, or a judgment of the quality of your work.

In the next few months we will be finishing another part of the space to increase the studio space available. There will be between 4 -7 depending on space requirements. If you're a creative in the area looking for some affordable/fun/safe/flexible and a cool space to be creative, it might work for you - you deserve it!  Long term Artists will be given preference over short term, but we're open to discussion.

It's a really wonderful space, with kitchen and full bathroom facilities, an incredible leafy and inspiring backyard and in the company of some beautiful and talented like minded people. What more is there? Each of the Studio Artists involved will have their own little area on this website too, along with being displayed at various times between shows in the gallery.

Even if you're not looking for a Studio or Exhibition space, you might be wanting to run workshops/seminars/lectures/functions or hold Art classes,  - all of which we're really open to having a chat about. I'm personally wanting someone to do some hebel sculpting lessons - that's something I've wanted to do for a long time...Watch this space!
