GALLERY 101
101 Collins Street Melbourne
END OF AN ERA - Gallery 101 to close March 13th 2010.
Major rejuvenation works have recently been instigated by the owners of 101 Collins Street within the main ground floor entry lobbies of the building adjacent to Gallery 101. To coincide with this renovation program, 101 Collins Street has recently decided that the space that has operated as Gallery 101 will close effective from MARCH 13th.
Gallery 101 has operated as a unique model in a corporate building since the building's establishment. In 1992 Dianna Gold was appointed Director/Curator to run the Gallery space on behalf of 101 Collins Street. For nearly 20 years, the owners and management have supported the Gallery which has provided a forum for emerging and established artists.
Gallery 101 has been identified as one of the most beautiful gallery spaces in one of the most respected corporate buildings in Australia. The Gallery has contributed to the profile of 101 Collins Street, liaised with tenants in the building and played a significant role in the arts community. Gallery 101 is a respected commercial gallery and member of the ACGA.
The end of its life as a gallery marks the very significant role the artists via many exhibitions have contributed to the rich artistic cultural tapestry in the City of Melbourne.
We would like to express our sincere thanks to all those who have supported our artists and the Gallery.
Our final exhibition is Colony by Carmel Wallace, 24th February - 13th March, 2010.
