Flinders Lane Gallery (FLG), established in 1989 and directed by Claire Harris for over 27 years, is one of Australia’s leading independent commercial galleries. Located in Melbourne’s iconic Nicholas Building, FLG is committed to presenting rigorous, conceptually engaged contemporary art by emerging, mid-career and established Australian artists.

The gallery’s program is defined by depth and continuity. Across more than three decades, FLG has built a reputation for fostering long-term artist relationships, supporting professional development, and championing practices that demonstrate technical excellence, intellectual integrity and emotional resonance. A robust annual exhibition schedule typically comprising over twenty solo exhibitions alongside curated group presentations sits at the core of the gallery’s identity.

FLG places strong emphasis on critical discourse. Each exhibition is accompanied by commissioned essays, and the gallery has produced multiple substantial publications, including The Big Book of Little Art Essays (2024), documenting 110 exhibitions from the past decade and featuring leading Australian writers. This commitment to scholarship distinguishes FLG within the commercial sector.

An early adopter of digital platforms, FLG launched virtual tours in 2017 and maintains a comprehensive online presence connecting collectors, designers and institutions nationally and internationally.

In 2025, FLG celebrated 25 years of its Exploration emerging artist program, which has launched the careers of numerous significant Australian artists. With ongoing institutional placements, major prize recognition, and the development of an Artist Residency in White Cliffs, NSW, FLG continues to evolve while remaining grounded in its core mission: sustained, thoughtful advocacy for Australian contemporary art.

Fine Arts, Sydney is a contemporary art gallery that represents artists and presents exhibitions. The gallery’s programme is international and intergenerational. Artists of the gallery’s programme frequently feature in solo and curated museum exhibitions, large-scale thematic exhibitions, biennials, and significant collections around the world. The gallery was established in 2017 and is based in Sydney.

Everywhen Art was established in 2009 by art writers, researchers, curators and gallerists Susan McCulloch OAM and Emily McCulloch Childs as a branch of the art company McCulloch & McCulloch Australian Art Books.

The gallery is named “Everywhen” in tribute to the anthropologist W.E.H Stanner who, in his 1953 essay ‘The Dreaming’ in describing the nature of time as it relates to the Aboriginal belief system, said ‘One cannot “fix” The Dreaming in time, it was and is everywhen.”

Everywhen Art is based in the McCulloch family’s heritage home gallery Whistlewood on Bunurong Country on the Mornington Peninsula.  Here, as well as in other locations, we present 8-12 exhibitions annually – largely of the work of artists from First Peoples art centres Australia-wide.

We are also the authors and publishers of McCulloch’s Encyclopedia of Australian Art and McCulloch’s Contemporary Aboriginal Art: the complete guide, as well as art writers, curators, speakers and commentators.

Founded in 2006, Dominik Mersch Gallery (DMG) is a Sydney-based contemporary art gallery dedicated to presenting conceptually rigorous and aesthetically compelling practices. Working closely with artists across all career stages, DMG fosters long-term relationships that support the development and presentation of ambitious contemporary work.

DMG primarily represents Australian and European artists whose practices are intellectually engaged and materially refined. A core focus of the gallery is creating meaningful cross-cultural dialogue, introducing international artists to Australian audiences while actively championing Australian artists locally and abroad.

Located in a light-filled industrial loft in Rushcutters Bay, DMG’s exhibition program extends beyond the physical space through the integration of virtual tour technology and online exhibitions, expanding audience access and engagement. The gallery is committed to innovation in how contemporary art is experienced, combining traditional exhibition formats with evolving digital platforms.

DMG actively supports emerging artists through new initiatives designed to provide professional development and opportunities for experimentation, alongside representing mid-career and senior artists whose works are held in major national and international collections. In addition to exhibitions, the gallery operates as a dynamic site for contemporary culture, hosting panel discussions, performances, concerts, and special projects led by artists and curators.

Darren Knight Gallery opened in Melbourne in September 1992, operating from a space in Fitzroy before relocating to its current location in Waterloo, Sydney in 1997. The gallery focuses on the long-term representation of its artists, providing a venue for regular solo and group exhibitions. Complementing this gallery program are occasional project exhibitions & performances with non-gallery artists, curators, musicians and other commercial galleries.

D LAN GALLERIES was founded in Melbourne in 2016 by D’Lan Davidson, a leading art consultant, dealer, and gallerist specialising in Australian First Nations art for over twenty years. The gallery presents regular exhibitions of modern and contemporary art by leading Australian First Nations artists, alongside a dynamic program of educational talks and events designed to celebrate and promote the rich art and culture of Australia’s first peoples.

In May 2023, D LAN GALLERIES opened a space on East 81st Street in New York, enabling the gallery to engage with collectors and communities and promote Australian First Nations art to a wider U.S. audience through a series of curated exhibitions. Following an enthusiastic reception from New York collectors, a new, larger gallery on East 73rd Street now presents exhibitions featuring living Australian First Nations artists, accompanied by a schedule of events and educational programming.

In November 2024, D LAN GALLERIES established an exciting new permanent gallery presence in Sydney on Queen Street, Woollahra.

With the core belief that Australian First Nations Art stands alongside the greatest art in the world, D LAN GALLERIES aims to engage and educate global audiences while elevating Australian First Nations art on the international stage.

In 2026 COMA is heading towards it’s 10th year of operation and will aim to reflect this milestone in the 2026 edition of Sydney Contemporary with a comprehensive group presentation that spotlights some of the leading voices in contemporary Australian and international art.

Established in 2004, China Heights Gallery has built a long-standing working methodology that benefits from a unique curatorial voice, one that engages a dynamic network of artists and applies an extensive range of practical expertise. Through numerous public projects, independent installations and commercial commissions China Heights has been instrumental within the contemporary Australian art landscape. With artist work and projects installed at regional and state institutions such as the AGNSW, MCA, Sydney Opera House, Powerhouse Museum, Brett Whiteley Studio, and held in private collections in Australia and internationally, the Gallery’s influence extends across both public and private spheres.

We have created large-scale public works for councils including City of Sydney, Waverley, and Yarra, alongside significant collaborations with clients such as Capella Hotel Group, Ace Hotel, Ruinart, Chopard, Louis Vuitton, Christian Louboutin, Gucci, Golden Goose, Nike, Qantas, Google, eBay, and Hermès, among others. Central to this is a long-standing curatorial partnership with the LVMH group, through which we program a dedicated exhibition space in Brisbane for Louis Vuitton.

The basis of the curatorial program draws upon practitioners who successfully co-exist within the spheres of art and design and possess a creative versatility in the application of their ideas and aesthetics. China Heights seeks to cultivate an environment of deep immersion using a non-linear narrative, where each artist generates and cultivates a vision of the whole.

Established in 2007, CHALK HORSE is a Sydney-based contemporary art gallery that began as an artist-run initiative and has since evolved into a renowned commercial gallery. While our foundations remain grounded in the experimental spirit of the ARI model, our program now supports a diverse roster of artists working across disciplines and critically engaged practices.

2026 marks a defining moment in the gallery’s trajectory. In the energetic Year of the Horse, CHALK HORSE will significantly expand its footprint with the launch of an upstairs Viewing Room above our William Street gallery, increasing our exhibition capacity and allowing for more focused presentations of works from our stable.

Continuing our long-standing engagement in Southeast Asia, CHALK HORSE is launching CHOK MAA, a Bangkok-based residency and curatorial platform. The residency will support Australian and international artists, providing studio and exhibition spaces while fostering international connection, grounding opportunities for new collaborations, and building the gallery’s international presence.

This momentum is reflected in the increasing institutional and international presence of our artists. In 2026, major institutional presentations include Kate Mitchell’s ‘In the Eye of the Giant’ and Mechelle Bounpraseuth’s ‘Sou Sou’ at AGNSW. The gallery will also participate in Aotearoa Art Fair in New Zealand for the first time and return to Art Paris at the Grand Palais, presenting works from the estate of Billy Benn alongside Adrian Janagla Robertson’s European debut.

Together, these developments mark a pivotal year of growth for CHALK HORSE and reflects the  ascending global profile for the gallery and its artists.
