Student Gallery

While the pure enjoyment of creating amazing artwork is certainly the focus at Art Metro, we also encourage our students to exhibit and sell their artwork. To help foster this, we hold ‘The Platform’ exhibition weekends, where the public can purchase art pieces from Art Metro’s emerging artists at attractive prices! Every 1-2 months we rotate through different artwork to keep things fresh!

Our student gallery is open Monday-Thursday,
10.00am -3.30pm (by appointment).
