Seventh Gallery |
SEVENTH is supported by Creative Victoria and Yarra City Council is a Major Supporter of the gallery.
We are a non-profit gallery mostly run by artists, for artists. SEVENTH is run by a paid Director supported by a volunteer Board of Directors, made of curators, writers, and people who labour in the arts, and creatives from other industries such as law, in our Board. We actively support these vocations across our program. Our exhibitions are free to attend and without appointment. The gallery is an incorporated association and does not have an owner, we have a rotating Board.
SEVENTH has and continues to be the space where new artists with exciting ideas have their first solo show, and we like supporting culturally diverse voices. Our exhibitions are experimental and critical, which means we show art about complex ideas. But we try to remain accessible to a range of audiences.
We have a new exhibition every four weeks across three galleries, some are solo shows and others are group shows. We pay artists a nominal fee to show, and there are no rental costs for the gallery. SEVENTH also has an Emerging Writers Program for new writers interested in art, and we do public programs, including readings, workshops, talks and live events.
We select our artists with an open call that happens twice every year. The Gallery Manager and the Board gathers together to assess these proposals, and we offer shows to the artists who align best with our values. If you are interested in applying, please look at our past program, to see if your art is compatible with our gallery. Most of our applications come from people that went to art school but we are trying to mix it up. Because we believe a degree should not be a barrier. Our open call is currently closed.
If you are an organisation and are interested in collaborating, please get in touch. We are especially keen on partnerships with community organisations. And want to work with creative initiatives outside of 'contemporary art', such as literature and film.
SEVENTH Gallery runs with shared values and we do not believe in hierarchies, careerism, or power. We make decisions collectively, and ensure everyone in the gallery has a say. We see ourselves as a community, who will continue to work together for the rest of our careers, across different projects and spaces.
