Gallery 3 | GORGEOUS

Hands On Studio

A fashion exhibition by Hands On Studio, GORGEOUS explores fashion as a living, expressive language — unruly, intimate, and always in motion. Expect the unexpected — from upcycled couture to wild creativity each piece invites us to consider the garment not as finished product, but as ongoing process.

Exhibitions run from Sunday 2 November until Sunday 23 November 2025.

Gallery opening times: Wednesday to Sunday, 12 - 5pm.

M16 Artspace operates on the lands of the Ngunnawal and Ngambri people. We honour and pay our respects to their traditional custodians. We acknowledge this land always was and always will be the country of Australia’s First Nations People. Sovereignty was never ceded.
