Five Walls Gallery

Five Walls is an artist-led, independent commercial art gallery located in Melbourne’s inner-western suburb of Footscray.

The gallery presents a year-round exhibition program focused on contemporary abstraction, with particular attention to non-objective and reductive practices. Through its program, Five Walls supports rigorous artistic practices and seeks to foster sustained dialogue between artists, collectors, institutions, and the broader cultural community.

In early 2024, Five Walls established a roster of represented artists, with plans for continued development and expansion. In February 2024, the gallery presented at the Melbourne Art Fair, marking the commencement of its ongoing participation in art fairs both in Australia and internationally.

Five Walls comprises a Main Gallery and four Project Spaces, which support a range of solo and group exhibitions. The gallery is open to the public Wednesday to Saturday, 12–5pm, with the stockroom accessible by appointment.

Five Walls is co-directed by Misuzu (Missy) Ueda and Aaron Martin, and operates with a commitment to considered exhibition-making and long-term support of artists’ practices.

The gallery is located on the first floor of a converted mid-century shopping and office arcade in Footscray. Access is via a flight of stairs.
