Please see our WHERE page for more details on getting here, staying here and exploring.

The MAIN GALLERY is dedicated to exhibitions of photographic work as well as installation, painting, sculpture and mixed media. Gallery Director and photographer Simon Dow will show work as well as curated photographic exhibitions of diverse photographers across genres including fine art, portraiture, reportage, documentary, installation, social commentary, landscape, fashion and more, all using the photographic process. We also show artists across a wide range of media.

We invite photographic and other media artists for consideration to present a series exhibition of images or individual images as part of a curated thematic exhibit by invitation. We are committed to bringing work of outstanding quality with a strong creative voice to this region with its close proximity to our cultural capital, Melbourne, and to regional hubs such as Bendigo, Ballarat and Castlemaine.

EDGE is committed to, and passionate about presenting work that is courageous, strong, creative, beautiful, provocative, socially conscious, explorative, thoughtful, engaging, enquiring, laterally thinking, funny, striking, emotional and surprising.

We host artist dialogues, and Q and A’s, where the creator and community can share thoughts, perceptions, ideas, creative processes, experiences, inspirations and stories as part of each ongoing exhibit.

As EDGE expanded we opened EDGE BELOW where exhibits include work across varied visual and performance arts practices including painting, sculpture, installation, movement practice, performance art and hybrid art forms.

EDGE BELOW (a fantastic and evocative cellar space) can house video or film installation work along with performance work, workshops and select exhibits that suit this inspiring, unusual space.

EDGE GALLERIES opened on March 20th, 2021. We look forward to welcoming you.
