Founded on the Sovereign land of the Wurundjeri Woi-Wurrung peoples of the Kulin Nations in 2019, GG is a collective formed in order to rent studio 8, level 1 7A Hope St with the purpose of creating a place for public engagement with art.

GG is a not-for-profit. Members pay the rent so artists don’t have to.

We believe that Art matters and can be interesting, alive and meaningful. GalleryGalleryInc is an experiment in Art and its structural underpinnings and as such is an opportunity to participate in creating culture.

Foundational principles:

• Culture is serious business

• We are dissatisfied with current gallery models

• We want to play with how things are done

• Artists shouldn’t pay to exhibit

• It's not about the money except when it is

• We can build value through effort, creativity and working together

• Creating new contexts creates new outcomes

• Effort should be made for quiet voices

Rules:

• No commission is charged on the sale of artworks 

• Alcohol and food may be provided but will not be sold

• A door charge may be levied to visitors (non-members) to view the art to support the gallery and its endeavours.

• No more than 50% of members and exhibitors can be men
