INTRODUCING MARTIN BROWNE CONTEMPORARY
 

We are pleased to announce the gallery’s relocation to an exciting new space at 15-21 Hampden Street, Paddington. A restored 1930s industrial Art Deco Building - formerly the home of Servis Industries - the new premises will include two galleries with three times our current amount of exhibiting space, as well as first floor offices and stockroom and an extensive outdoor exhibition area. Reflecting the shift in focus that has taken place over the gallery’s 20 year history, we will reopen on 20th July as Martin Browne Contemporary with the inaugural exhibition to be by Wynne Prize finalist Neil Frazer. Titled Fracture, the exhibition will feature works inspired by Frazer’s recent journeys to North West and Central Australia.

The gallery will operate from our current Potts Point address until mid June.
