Who is Red?

Operating since 2002, RED Gallery is one of Melbourne’s oldest and most iconic indie gallery spaces nestled firmly in Fitzroy’s dynamic and vibrant Arts Precinct. The gallery has, over the years, welcomed thousands of multi-modal artists and creative forerunners through its much-loved scarlet doors. The space is synonymous with showcasing some of the country’s finest established artists, already well represented in national and international collections, alongside mid-range, emerging and young talent to create dynamic and invigorating creative collaborations.

Why Red?

RED Gallery is a multi-exhibition space housed in a converted historical warehouse and former boot factory with a great deal of industrial charm, abundant natural light, versatile white walls and adjustable low-voltage track lighting. The gallery is the architectural equivalent of a blank canvas that comprises of four large and adaptable spaces which can be utilised separately, or as one total space. A ceiling height of 3.8m provides ample space for large works, installations, workshops, events and photo shoots. We have welcomed unique and immersive creative concepts that stretch the space to encompass film, performance, photoshoots, pop-up retail, events and installations. There are onsite toilets, a kitchen, dual bathrooms and an active liquor license. Situated in the vibrant Art Precinct and a stone-throw away from the Melbourne CBD, opposite Edinburgh Gardens with trams and bus stops directly in front of the gallery.
