Mailbox 141

MAILBOX 141 is an alternative public art space that opened in November 2006 to support artistic experimentation and exhibition of new work. Located at 141 Flinders Lane – near the corner of Russell Street in the heart of Melbourne’s arts precinct – MAILBOX invites artists to create site specific work for a strip of restored antique mailboxes in the entrance foyer. Reminders of our urban heritage in the midst of the corporate streetscape, MAILBOX enlivens the imaginative space of the city. As part of the diverse network linking art schools, studio artists, artist-run initiatives and business, MAILBOX offers another possibility for individual artists to inhabit public space in the city of Melbourne and contributes to an authentic and often unexpected cultural experience for viewers.

MAILBOX operates in collaboration with 141-143 Flinders Lane. Exhibitions change every two months.
