The SOHO ARTS street gallery is a project of SOHO ARTS to provide opportunities for artists to exhibit and the community of South Hobart to enjoy as the latest element in an increasingly interesting South Hobart cultural streetscape. The Street Gallery is a curated exhibition space that welcomes expressions of interest from artists wishing to exhibit their work.
Selection is through a competitive EOI process decided by a panel. Decisions are final and no further correspondence will be entered into. Exhibiting work in the Street Gallery is free to selected applicants.
As a non-commercial space artists may wish to consider using the opportunity to extend their practice through new or experimental works.

Artist Statement – Natalia Bennett
SOHO ARTS Street Gallery Exhibition
This small collection of works — Clementines, White Flowers, and Still — explores quiet, domestic moments that often go unnoticed. Each piece reflects a gentle observation of colour, light, and stillness, drawing attention to the emotional depth found in everyday objects and scenes.
Rooted in my ongoing interest in slow living and soft observation, these paintings offer a visual pause — a still frame in contrast to the fast pace of life. They aim to hold space for stillness, tenderness, and the overlooked beauty of the ordinary.
I’m honoured to be part of the South Hobart streetscape through the SOHO ARTS Street Gallery. Thank you to Lucinda and the Board of Directors for the opportunity and for your continued commitment to making art visible and accessible in our community.

T&Cs
The fabricated exhibition space is made of Corten steel with assault proof glass and secured with 2 padlocks. Whilst all care will be taken by the South Hobart Living Arts Centre to ensure any artwork exhibited in the gallery is kept safe and unaffected by the elements work is exhibited at the artist’s risk. Artists might like to consider insuring their work. The artist should also ensure that the artwork can withstand sun, changes in temperature, moisture or any other environmental factor given the structure, size and location.
The artwork needs to fall within the following parameters:
2D works like paintings, prints, drawings, collage etc
maximum size 1800 mm wide x 1080mm high
multiple works are also possible if they fit
3D sculptural works
need to fit into the dimensions above and be no deeper than 300mm
suitable artwork display stands may need to be provided by the artist to display work effectively. Can be negotiated on acceptance.
