The simplest entry is from Russell St and into Jane Bell Lane (right next to Officeworks). Otherwise, if you're entering from Swanston Street, head toward the food court / courtyard area and take the escalators up to Level 3.
The gallery is opposite Daiso.
The Gallery is wheelchair accessible. Lifts are located on the Gallery’s floor in the QV centre and provide access to the QV building.
The entrance to the Gallery is a single glass door that will be held open throughout the day (although it will be closed for our ticketed events in the evening). Staff will be there to assist if needed.
The floor of the Gallery is polished concrete and smooth. There will be a medium-sized shag rug that will take up a small part of floor space.
For the most part, the space will be bright but quiet. The exception to this is on Friday night where we will have a DJ, therefore the space will be quite loud.
