FLG Is Moving In 2019!
We are excited to share with you our big news!
Just a block from our current location, the Nicholas Building is a Melbourne landmark and home to a wonderful array of creatives: artists, architects, jewellers, designers, and more.
Designed in collaboration with Collingwood based architectural firm Object Subject, we're proud to present a new gallery that will not only allow us to stage dynamic exhibitions and accomodate a generous stockroom, but also sees a contemporary intervention honouring the heritage of the Nicholas Building itself.
We are thrilled to be joining this hub of Melbourne artistic culture, and invite all of you to visit our new, creatively designed gallery space when we open in April 2019.
Please note that we will continue to operate at our usual location at 137 Flinders Lane up until 16 March 2019 when we will close the original doors for the last time.
The Nicholas Building is a landmark historic office and retail building located at 37 Swanston St, at the intersection of Swanston Street and Flinders Lane, Melbourne. Designed by architect Harry Norris and completed in 1926, it is the grandest example in Melbourne of what is known as the 'Chicago School' or 'Commercial Palazzo' style, featuring large scale classical elements. It has long housed a range of small businesses, and is now known for its creative industry tenants such as fashion designers, artists and specialist retailers. It had the longest operating manual lifts in the city, and the ground floor Cathedral Arcade is one of the most notable arcades in the city.
