Salerno Gallery

I’ve been lucky enough to attend several exhibitions at Salerno Gallery over the last 6 months. It’s so lovely to have a new, vibrant and constantly changing creative space in Glebe.
When I see a number of other gallery’s closing up around Sydney, it’s encouraging to see a new space pop up and have success.
The gallery itself is in a terrific position, close to restaurants and bars on Glebe Point Rd. The street exposure I think would be ideal for artists (and the gallery), as it’s not tucked up in a dingy back alley somewhere.
It seems they have constantly changing exhibition, not all to my taste, but the variety is welcomed as I’ve seen some amazing work exhibited in their space.
Hopefully Salerno Gallery can help bring in some much needed activity back to Glebe Point Rd and with the help of the surrounding new businesses help restore Glebe to it’s prime.

Salerno Gallery is a small, white, rectangular box on Glebe Point Road.
The elegant and petite art gallery is sparse, its white concrete walls providing the perfect blank canvas for any exhibition.
I recently attended the opening night of an exhibition at Salerno Gallery, «10 girls. 10 colours». The gallery appeared even smaller as it buzzed with the crowds that spilled on to the footpath, glass in hand. And yet it’s shoebox design worked well in its favour, the opening night filling quickly, the vibe electric as you wove your way through the crowd.
It’s hard to loose yourself in an exhibition at Saerno Gallery, as its «prime street-​side location» means that it’s set only a couple of metres back from the bustling street. Its location must work in its favour too, with Glebe Point Road’s bustling pedestrian activity bringing in extra interest.
Entry is free, and if you’re walking up Glebe Point Rd then it’s definitely worth a visit and if the rest of the exhibitions it hosts are of the same calibre as «10 girls. 10 colours» then all the better.
