We are encouraging exhibitions across all contemporary visual practices, particularly where the artist responds to a figurative element through their own unique and creative medium.

Our ground floor exhibition space is light and airy with three large windows facing the always vibrant and active Glebe Point Road. It features over 65m2 of floor space, versatile hanging/display options, track lighting and 24 hour street exposure. Walls are white painted concrete and the floor has a neutral concrete surface. A selection of plinths are available upon request.

Join us for Show of Care, and upcoming exhibition of ceramic works by Jan Howlin.
These aren’t your conventional ceramic bowl or vase objects on display, but an exploration into the maintenance of every day life, through rituals and objects often taken for granted.
Jan Howlin explains :
Show of Care is concerned with the way everyday life is maintained within the home.
It has been made in homage to my mother, whose care for me and my family, usually taken for granted, sustained and enriched our lives.
In exploring a number of the domestic activities, tasks and rituals fundamental to the experience of home she created for us, I hope to highlight the profound value of care, loving and giving in everyday life.

The exhibition runs from the 23rd May – 11th June, 2011, so be sure to come by and view Jan’s terrific work.

We have an amazing new exhibition opening on the 22nd of February.
Salerno Gallery is proud to present “Lagomorpha”, a solo exhibition of illustrated works by Australian artist Anton Pulvirenti.
Each image is a narrative telling part of a story from Anton’s emotionally charged perspective. Anton’s familial view of the Italian Australian internments of World War Two calls upon the viewer to compare the Italian experience of the war to that of introduced pests such as the fox and the rabbit.
Be sure to join us at the opening night on Thursday the 24th of February 6-8pm.
The show is running for a month so you have plenty of time to view Anton’s amazing work.
