Prized pieces will be wrapped on site and with thousands of paintings, prints and sculptures to suit every taste, space and spend, you’re guaranteed to find a piece to reinvigorate your wall space.
The illustrious gallery line up will include Sydney favourites Studio Gallery, Rochfort Gallery, Harvey Galleries, Wentworth Galleries, and Fern Street Gallery, with The Toowoomba Gallery from Queensland.
