Verified Reviews of Galleries in Sydney
Studio 551 is a versatile and beautiful space to hire. Whether it is for an exhibition or photoshoot. I had my launch for my brand there and the space is very well lit and well looked after. Fabian is also a fantastic venue host. He's really there to support artists and small businesses. Definitely reccomend ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
My experience at the INTO ARTS was very good. I held my personal exhibition at INTO ARTS. Manager Sandra was always reachable to support us and has always been great. After my first visit to Venue, I saw the lovely landscape garden, bright lights and clean facilities so decided right away. It had everything for private exhibitions and workshops. The owners also helped us in many ways to have best experiences. We would definitely hold an event in INTO ARTS if there is another opportunity in future. Thanks to Sandra and owners for your support provided.
