Backwoods Gallery

Backwoods Gallery is a contemporary art space located in Collingwood, Melbourne, housed at 25 Easey Street and dedicated to rotating exhibitions of paintings, sculptures, and installations. The venue features works created by artists from around the world, offering a platform for both established and emerging practitioners to share their work with visitors.

The gallery was established in 2010 through a collaboration between Everfresh Studio and members of the Easey Street community seeking to create a new platform for artists. This founding marked the beginning of its role in the neighborhood's growing contemporary art scene.

The gallery shows works by Australian and international artists in rotating exhibitions that draw different crowds throughout the year. Visitors encounter a space where contemporary art from various backgrounds is presented side by side, reflecting the neighborhood's openness to diverse creative voices.

The gallery is easily accessible by public transport and provides information about current exhibitions when you inquire. It is helpful to contact the venue in advance to confirm what is on display during your planned visit.

The space has developed a reputation for showcasing artistic experiments that do not necessarily follow commercial trends. This independent approach allows for work to be shown that might struggle to find exhibition space elsewhere in the city.
