Exhibit with us - Visual Artists
Nightingale Gallery is a contemporary fine art gallery situated on High Street, Armadale, one of Melbourne’s most distinguished cultural and lifestyle precincts. Known for its refined boutique shopping, restaurants and heritage streetscape just 7 km from the CBD, Armadale offers access to an established collector base and an affluent, internationally connected community.
Established in 2025, the gallery presents exhibitions by emerging and established artists from Australia and around the world. Housed in a heritage-listed space with polished concrete floors and lofty ceilings, Nightingale Gallery provides a distinctive architectural setting for ambitious contemporary practice.
Applications from established and emerging artists working in all mediums are welcome to apply. Solo and group exhibitions will be considered.
