George Paton Gallery
Established in the mid 1970s as the first institutionally supported experimental art space in Australia, the George Paton soon became a model for an emerging network of alternative spaces and centres for contemporary art in Australia. The gallery’s exhibition programs forecast emerging trends in; alternative practice, experimentation with new and hybrid media, the phenomenon of the curator, and the return of painting whilst an exceptional lecture program allowed audiences access to new philosophical and theoretical ideas by leading international and local thinkers, writers and artists.
Since 1994 the Gallery program has continued the visual vibrancy of past years supporting and showcasing student and emerging artist’s artwork from a variety of tertiary institutions and backgrounds. The GPG today exhibits artists with new ideas, and those who are pushing the boundaries and contexts of art.
