Blak Dot Gallery

About: 

Blak Dot Gallery, based in Narrm (Melbourne), is the leading gallery for contemporary First Nations art in Australia. Blak Dot Gallery was established in 2011 as a contemporary First Nations artist-run space to showcase contemporary artworks from world Indigenous cultures. lak Dot Gallery enables First Nations people to continually re-define and evolve contemporary culture through First Nations art, culture and cultural protocols. Blak Dot Gallery works with a strong network of First Nations artists from all over Victoria and Australia and has an ongoing commitment to ensuring First Nations artists have opportunities and access to a professional gallery environment. We deliver a vibrant and innovative exhibition schedule, catering to solo, group and community work, host regular community events, workshops, panel discussions, lectures, artists markets, and we are an a core participant to six major arts festivals across Melbourne which facilitates the engagement of Blak Dot’s community with a wider audience. Through Blak Dot Gallery, First Nations artists who work in non-traditional and mixed-media, have an opportunity to present their interpretation of lived experiences in contemporary society. 

Our work gives insight into the cultural values and experiences of Indigenous communities through the creative use of modern practice.
