ABOUT RED GALLERY

About Red Gallery

Operating since 2002, Red Gallery is one of Melbourne’s oldest and most iconic independent gallery spaces nestled firmly in Fitzroy’s dynamic and vibrant Arts Precinct. The gallery has created a space that supports independent artists by showcasing artists from emerging, mid-career, and established artists from traditional to contemporary practice such as paintings, photography, sculptures, printmaking, textiles to immersive installations.

Red Gallery also offers Talks & Tours, featuring exhibition walkthroughs and artist or curator-led discussions, and maintains a free-entry policy, allowing audiences to engage with its dynamic exhibition program throughout the year.

Conveniently located in the vibrant Art Precinct, just minutes from Melbourne CBD, and directly across from Edinburgh Gardens, with tram and bus stops right at the door.

Gallery Director - Su Li

8 March 2024

My journey into the world of art is deeply personal, rooted in my childhood spent amidst the canvases and colors of my late father's painting studio. As a little girl, I dreamed about far-off places and distant worlds through the lens of my father's art. The deep affection for art has been my guiding light ever since, sustaining my passion and authenticity amidst the disciplined world of commerce.

After obtaining dual degrees in Economics and English Language, followed by a Master's in E-commerce, I immersed myself in International Trade and logistics, which enabled me to encounter diverse artistic expressions worldwide as a result of travel in this industry. From marvelling at masterpieces in the Uffizi Gallery to experiencing avant-garde installations at Art Basel Hong Kong, each encounter enriched my artistic perspective. Furthering my knowledge through courses at institutions like the Sotheby Institute of Art, I am now fortunate as the new Director of Red Gallery to be able to dedicate and nurture a dynamic artistic community and create a space where creativity flourishes and cultural exchange thrives.
