Seventh Gallery turns 25 this year! We’re proud of the work that we have done and the community that we have built since 2000, as a non-profit gallery mostly run by artists, for artists.

As we reflect on our journey so far and look to the path ahead, we’re organising a celebration next Friday 20 June. We hope this gathering will be an opportunity not only to celebrate but also to reaffirm our shared commitment to artist-run culture. If you’re able to join us, we’d love to see you there

We’re also using this occasion to raise $25,000 to support our ongoing operations. Like many micro arts organisations, we navigate persistent financial precarity. While we recognise that we are not alone in facing these structural challenges, we continue to do a great deal with limited resources.

Our exhibitions, talks, workshops, screenings and professional development opportunities are almost all offered free of charge, and on top of this we work hard pay artists a decent fee - part of our broader commitment to accessibility and public value. At a time when cost-of-living pressures and broader systems of inequity are increasingly marginalising creative labour, we believe it is more important than ever to hold space that resists these trends.

If you’re in a position to contribute, your support would make a tangible difference. We hope you can come along and participate in our event - an opportunity to connect, experience new work, and contribute to the community of artist-led practice that makes our city’s cultural landscape so distinctive. If you plan to attend, please RSVP via the link in our bio, as this will assist us in planning hospitality and ensuring a welcoming environment for all.

Our fundraising auction will launch on the evening of the event and remain open for one week following, allowing time to view and purchase works beyond the night itself. Further details - including program highlights and featured artists - will be shared over the coming fortnight. For the first time, all donations over $2 are tax-deductible.

We are very grateful to the excellent folk at Konpira Maru who are sponsoring this event. Thanks guys!
