Firstdraft

Overview

Firstdraft sticks to its principles about the purity of artistic expression. It's a non-profit gallery, meaning that it takes no commission whatsoever on works that are sold, the gallery is subsidised, and it values the fair payment of its artists and curators. It's got history, too, starting out in Chippendale in the mid 80s before working its way to Woolloomooloo via a stint in Surry Hills.

Firstdraft has four separate gallery spaces, each of which change their show after less than a month — meaning that you're never far away from a brand new experience. Billed as "Australia's premier space for emerging and experimental arts practice", Firstdraft shows work which is daring, experimental and vital.
