The Commercial
This contemporary gallery may be small in size, but not in ambition.
Overview
This contemporary art gallery has been a small but significant member of the inner-city art scene since its establishment in 2012. The Commercial, based in Redfern, represents a steady flock of emerging and established artists across a number of mediums and disciplines. Exhibitions typically last for a month making repeat visits a must for art enthusiasts. Recent works on offer have included Emily Hunt's silk monotypes and ceramics as well as paintings by Tim Schultz and Patrick Hartigan. The estate of prominent Australian Aboriginal artist Michael Riley is also managed by The Commercial. Riley's work in photography and film made a significant contribution to the representation of rural Aboriginal communities and Indigenous society.
