[MARS] Melbourne Art Rooms
MARS ] Melbourne Art Rooms Gallery, situated on Bay Street in Port Melbourne, opened in February 2005 and has quickly earned a reputation as one of Melbourne’s most exciting and diverse commercial art spaces.
Originally an old dairy, the MARS building was neglected and run down during its use as a warehouse and a mechanical workshop. Remarkably reincarnated blending aspects of the old and the new, MARS is a unique space that offers a backdrop of simplicity and generous proportions to showcase outstanding art.
[MARS] hosts exhibitions by their represented artists including local, national and international artists as well as carefully selected unrepresented and emerging artists. MARS proudly hosts guest curators and artists groups.
