Australian Girls Own Gallery, Art museum in Kingston, Australian Capital Territory
The Australian Girls Own Gallery displays paintings, sculptures, and mixed media works in a dedicated exhibition space on Leichhardt Street.
Founded in 1989 by Helen Maxwell, former National Gallery of Australia curator, the gallery presented its first exhibition 'Les femmes formidables 1' with five female artists.
The gallery concentrated on exhibitions by Australian women artists, including Indigenous creators like Nancy Gaymala Yunupingu and Banduk Marika.
The institution operated for nine years until 1998, organizing multiple exhibitions each year that featured both emerging and established female artists.
Each exhibition specifically addressed gender representation in Australian art by providing dedicated space for female artists during a period of limited opportunities.
