An art space in the inner city. Three exhibition galleries for contemporary art, architecture and design and an audio visual room for multi media presentations, displays and seminars.

SPAN Gallery offers managed access spaces with art services such as design, promotion and installation by arrangement. Situated in a historic warehouse in Flinders Lane, the space features natural lighting, high trussed ceilings and street window frontage into the front gallery. A choice of three galleries and an audio visual area enables separate exhibitions and events to occur concurrently. Alternatively, a large project with a particular theme, or themes, could extend throughout the entire space.

Proposals and bookings are invited from artists, curators, architects, designers, photographers and galleries who are interested in renting space for exhibitions, installations, performance or seminars.
