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.

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.
To express your interest in being considered please send:
