Saluhan Collective

Seventh is a non-profit gallery mostly run by artists, for artists. Seventh is run by a paid Director supported by a volunteer Board of Directors, made of curators, writers, and people who labour in the arts, and creatives from other industries such as law, in our Board. We actively support these vocations across our program. Our exhibitions are free to attend and without appointment. The gallery is an incorporated association and does not have an owner, we have a rotating Board.

Seventh has and continues to be the space where new artists with exciting ideas have their first solo show, and we like supporting culturally diverse voices. Our exhibitions are experimental and critical, which means we show art about complex ideas. But we try to remain accessible to a range of audiences. 

We have a new exhibition every four weeks across three galleries, some are solo shows and others are group shows. 

We pay artists a nominal fee to show, and there are no rental costs for the gallery. Seventh also has an Emerging Writers Program for new writers interested in art, and we do public programs, including readings, workshops, talks and live events.
