About

Nestled in the heart of the leafy suburb of Red Hill, Side Gallery stands as a dynamic hub, seamlessly blending the traditional white wall gallery model with distinctive design innovation. Side Gallery takes pride in its model's approach, representing a curated selection of established and emerging artists who push the boundaries of contemporary and modern art while fostering relationships with affiliated artists.

Now in its tenth year, Side Gallery continues to evolve as a supportive and inclusive space for artists at all stages of their journey. Our purpose goes beyond exhibition: we mentor artists in their practice, guide them toward their goals, and provide the tools to achieve them. We exist to nurture talent, foster community, and create pathways for artists to grow.

Social media worksop

Social media has become a crucial tool for artists in today's digital age. By using platforms like Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter, artists can connect with a wider audience and showcase their work to potential buyers, galleries, and curators. Social media also provides a platform to share the creative process and engage with followers, allowing for a more personal connection with your audience. With billions of users worldwide, social media has the power to give artists unparalleled exposure and opportunities to promote their work, making it an essential part of any artist's marketing strategy. We run social media workshops specifically for artists who want to use social media to assist their brand and practice. This can take place as a group workshop, 1 on 1 consultation, and delivered to organisations and creative businesses.
