About this space

Southern Exposure is a contemporary art organisation housed in a flexible white-box gallery. The venue's defining quality is an adaptable, gallery-style interior that accommodates visual and multimedia programming.

Design: The gallery presents a simple, functional aesthetic: high ceilings with exposed beams, white display walls and a long rectangular volume that focuses attention on the end wall. The interior includes track lighting and a central skylight that together create a clear, workmanlike presentation environment.

Features: On-site Wi-Fi and air conditioning support day-long hire. The space includes a wired PA and speaker setup, allowance for external DJs and own-music playback, a projection-ready end wall and movable plinths and stands for displays. The building has a step-free guest entrance, wheelchair access and accessible toilets.

Ideal for: Artist groups, community arts organisations and creative collectives seeking an adaptable, informal gallery space for seated presentations or standing-format gatherings.

What sets it apart: The organisation operates artist-support programmes and grants that connect the venue’s exhibition programme to local arts initiatives.

What guests say: The venue stages consistently interesting exhibitions and programmes, and the gallery interior is well presented and suitable for projection-based work and public events.
