The space is really beautiful, great lighting and hanging system. Fabian was really helpful and there is great foot traffic in King street

Possibly a microwave might be handy if you need to heat up opening night food and maybe a kettle to make a cup of tea

Exhibition · 45 guests · September 2024 · Gallery Space + Studio Hire

Myself and two friends hired Studio 551 for our art exhibition opening night and gallery viewing. The venue had everything we needed including a hanging system, back storage area, plinths, trestle table and fridge all for what we felt was a very reasonable price. Fabian was incredibly helpful and responsive to queries and the process for booking and setting up the space was simple and stress free. The venue itself was ideal; high ceilings, great lighting, clean, excellent location, air conditioned and was the perfect size for three artists and really helped to elevate and showcase our work as effectively as possible. We received a lot of positive feedback from our friends, family and walk-ins who came to see the show, so the space was also equally enjoyed by our patrons. Would definitely recommend and hire again, thank you Fabian!

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 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
