Unley Inner Art Gallery

UIAG corridor

The Unley Inner Art Gallery is a unique exhibition space located within the internal secure administration area of the Unley Council. The hanging spaces are in busy open plan offices, walkways and internal meeting rooms. Its audience include Council Staff, Elected Members, and visitors for council-related meetings.

Exhibiting artists benefit from sustained exposure to Council employees, increased visibility of their practice, the chance to promote and sell their work, and the opportunity to foster connections within the local government and community sectors.
