セント・ヘリアーズ・ストリート・ギャラリー

Established in 2009, セント・ヘリアーズ・ストリート・ギャラリー is an Abbotsford Convent Foundation initiative. The gallery is located on the ground floor of the main Convent building, next to カムのキオスク: a bustling café and local institution for knock-off drinks. The gallery welcomes over 2,000 visitors a week, it is an artistic hub, a natural meeting place and a great space for sharing work with a diverse and growing audience.

St Heliers Street Gallery is managed by the アボッツフォード修道院財団 in partnership with Cam’s. It showcases work by the Convent’s artistic community, as well as providing an affordable space for emerging artists to exhibit. There is a year-round exhibition schedule, with no commission charged on any works sold. All sales proceeds go directly to artists.

The gallery presents contemporary arts and cultural works across all art forms. We work collaboratively with artists and in partnership with other arts and cultural organisations to share our unique, multi-arts precinct with a broad audience. We aim to stimulate engagement and cultural exchange through the wonderful and unexpected curiosities of our people and our place—and community spaces like St Heliers Street Gallery are at the heart of that vision.
