| Established in 2004 by Director Andy Dinan, MARS Gallery based in Naarm/Melbourne is a cutting-edge, contemporary art gallery with a steadfast resolve for promoting Australian artists. Under Andy’s watch, MARS enjoys a unique position staging regular exhibitions in excess of 300+ exhibitions featuring over 330 artists. Andy specialises in exhibiting, promoting, and building careers of emerging artists exhibitions, attending international art fairs, curating special events and consulting on major public art commissions.
MARS has also exhibited in international art fairs including Paris Photo, Photo London, Photo Basel, Art Central Hong Kong and Volta Basel. After a successful decade in Port Melbourne, MARS moved into the purpose-built, state-of-the-art gallery in Windsor in 2014. The new MARS represents the gallery’s commitment to the next generation of art and artists, enabling the showing of challenging new media including sound sculpture, video and light art alongside contemporary painting, sculpture and works on paper. MARS is at the forefront of innovation in Australian contemporary art galleries in both design and programs. |
